Beyond The Beat - Exclusives
Monday, 9 June 2025 - 28 minutes
On this episode of Beyond the Beat - Exclusives, we catch up with Lycia - an up-and-coming R&B / neo soul fushion artist from the north.
Ryan sits down with emerging R&B artist Lycia for an exclusive interview diving into her music, influences, and journey. From her Caribbean-inspired upbringing to the deeply personal stories behind tracks like "Jumper" and "Fairytales," Lycia opened up about channeling emotion into her music.
Lycia also touched on the exhilaration of live performance, her love for Birmingham’s music scene - especially in Digbeth -and how collaborations, particularly with rapper Zachariah, elevate her artistry. Known for her expressive songwriting and R&B influences like Mariah Carey, Aaliyah, and Brandy, she’s carving out a unique space in modern music.
Her advice to aspiring artists? Be passionate, be consistent, and stay true to yourself - even if the process isn't always linear.
Catch Lycia at the upcoming "Our Turn" hip hop event and follow her journey on social media.
