Lydia was our "viewers' choice" this month. Her music video "Mine Addiction" was the most played clip on the "Share Your Band" section of our website. We caught up with her at The Blinkin Lincoln in Roxborough.
Here is her biography
On the road to discovering her many talents Lydia Rene' has chosen to follow the trail of an authentic love for music mapped out by her parents singer/pianist and music teacher Donald Scott and Certified Life Coach and music lover Katya Scott. These two are credited with exposing Lydia Rene' to a myriad of music genre's such as classical, jazz, gospel and rock very early in her life. There were many times her parents would ask her out of the blue who does that sound like and Lydia Rene' would respond in kind, "Stevie Wonder or Glady's Knight" and she would of course, be right.
But wait, there's more, she is a classically trained pianist, was a member of the jazz band in high school as a pianist, a drummer and xylophone player in the marching band as well a member of the drum line at the competition level. With that kind of early musical lineage, musicianship and instrumentation along with her innate gifting; it is no wonder she is so prolific at what she does and prepared to blaze a trail of her own.
There was a time early on in the careers of performing artist that the industry wanted you to be specific in your genre and your niche. It was not acceptable, fashionable or politically correct to write, play, arrange, orchestrate, produce and sing, but thanks to other trailblazers I'm pleased to say not only are these skills and abilities admired, but they are sought after and highly valued.
Lydia Rene' is one who is able to do it all, do it well and is well prepared to demonstrate it. No wonder her tracks throb with an undeniable R&B groove and syncopated percussion that catches you off guard rather nicely, yet still has that classically trained flare of precise orchestration with tasty musical interludes and outrageous lyrics. Add to all that her own distinct rhythmic phrasing that draws you in and makes you want to hear every word, just to see how she delivers it.
In 50 Years...
Lydia would like to be known for:
1) Tasty relevant lyrics about timeless issues
2) A creator of memorable moments; and
3) An ageless sound that doesn't date itself
Lydia Rene has found her sweet spot in music and is beginning to stir her pot of goodness. Interestingly enough, I don't think she really knows just how tasty she is, but she's certainly ready to find out as she invites us to join her face to face in a dish of her best-orchestrated and arranged musical cuisine. Please enjoy the performance video from her show at The Blinkin Lincoln
