"Nothing about the appearance of Lola Young is strictly original. Like many other girls in London although born in Croydon, she grew up in the southeast of the city, in Beckenham Young is alternative, sports a mullet haircut that combines light and dark highlights, piercings, and fake eyelashes. In reality, what draws attention when you see her for the first time is a mixture of races, which, although subtle, immediately speaks of a blend of origins."
"It is the genetic inheritance of her Chinese-Jamaican father, although it was her stepfather, a professional bassist, who, along with her mother, facilitated the development of the young woman's true distinctive feature: a raspy voice that evokes too many battles for such a young artist, who released her third album, I'm Only F**king Myself, on September 19. Between home-organized salsa sessions, visits from musicians like Paolo Nutini and Joni Mitchell,"
Lola Young was born in Croydon and raised in Beckenham in southeast London. She presents an alternative style with a mullet haircut featuring highlights, piercings, and fake eyelashes. Her mixed Chinese-Jamaican heritage registers subtly in her appearance. Her stepfather, a professional bassist, and her mother fostered her musical training, producing a distinctive raspy voice. She released her third album, I'm Only F**king Myself, on September 19. Early musical experiences included home salsa sessions, visits from musicians like Paolo Nutini and Joni Mitchell, lessons in piano, guitar, and voice, and open-mic performances from age 13. She attended The BRIT School at 14 and gained prominence after a viral 2021 John Lewis Christmas advertisement, followed by two albums and the single "Messy."
