Bio

Roxy’s peculiar and alternative music is a reflection of a life that has been far from orthodox. Born into a Mormon community in Hitchin, UK, Roxy never let her upbringing confine her creativity to a single influence. She broke away from church hymns - her first introduction to music, and traveled to Paris in her late teens where she studied classical violin and piano at Conservatory Paris VI, discovered jazz, and took part in an African choir.  After graduating she began teaching music in inner-city schools in London, as well as studying and working in international development, which led her to travel to Rwanda, DRC, and Sudan.

While performing in London, she attracted the attention of producer and label owner Al Mobbs, as well as a senior producer at Sony who gave her a development deal to release her debut EP Changing Things. Bursting with character, her music was played on mainstream radio, receiving praise from John Kennedy, Rob de Bank, and Tom Robinson. High-profile performances in iconic UK venues ensued, such as Roni Scott’s, the Royal Albert Hall, Union Chapel, and the Roundhouse, with support slots for Yasmin Levy and Sia.
