Award‑Winning Indie‑Pop Artist from Blackpool UK

At just 16 years old, Lois Brooks has already carved out a place as one of the UK's most compelling young indie‑pop voices — a songwriter with emotional depth far beyond her age and a creative drive that's been unstoppable since childhood.

Raised in Blackpool, Lancashire, Lois started playing piano at three, writing songs not long after, and by nine she was fronting a young pub‑circuit band with her older brother on guitar, a duo dynamic that still shapes her sound today.

Her breakthrough arrived early: at 11, she wrote Girl in the Dress, which went on to win the Song Academy Young Songwriter competition, judged by industry names like Tom Odell and Fraser T. Smith — a moment that ignited her confidence and marked her as a rising force in UK indie music.

Since then, Lois has built a catalogue that blends cinematic indie‑pop with honest, emotionally rich storytelling. She's released multiple singles including The Man Who Fell to Earth — a Bowie homage that caught the attention of David Bowie: Glamour — along with Christmas Starts!, Dancing with Strangers, and Make It Go Slow, the latter earning her another Top 5 Song Academy placement and a performance on the London stage.

Her live presence has grown from open‑mics to paid gigs and radio features, praised for her maturity, vulnerability, and the unmistakable chemistry she shares with her brother onstage.

In 2025, her track Breathe climbed to the #1 spot on the itisnow radio Top 40, solidifying her momentum as one of the UK's brightest young independent artists.

Lois Brooks isn't just a rising star — she's a generational talent in motion, building her own lane with heart, grit, and a voice that stays with you.

Lois Brooks is the kind of artist you don't ‘discover’ — you just feel lucky you crossed paths with her early. Sixteen years old, writing like she's lived three lifetimes, and performing with a confidence most adults never reach. There's real talent here, not hype. She's got the voice, the songwriting, the work ethic, and that natural spark you can't teach. The IMH didn't create her — we just recognized what she already is: a future star.
