California native singer/songwriter Lucy Schwartz is the 2007 winner of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in the teen category for her song "I Don't Know a Thing." She was voted favorite artist in the October 2007 BMI podcast featuring Los Angeles songwriters.
Lucy has been performing with her band at L.A. area clubs and this summer she also played the Palo Alto Music & Film Festival, Central Park's Harlem Meer Music Festival and opened for Guggenheim Grotto at the Canal Room in NYC. She also recently released a CD of original songs titled Winter in June.
This fall brings the release of the film The Women, which features two new songs Lucy wrote for the opening scene and the closing scene of the movie. It has an entirely female, star-studded cast including Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, Annette Bening, Bette Midler, Debra Messing and is directed by Diane English. The soundtrack will also highlight all women artists such as KT Tunstall and introduces Lucy performing her new songs "Beautiful" and "Count on Me."
This year, Lucy's songs have been featured on the TV series Reaper and Cashmere Mafia. Her singing can also be heard on various TV shows including re-runs of the Emmy award winning series Arrested Development. Now it can be told, the sultry chanteuse of "Mr. F" on Arrested Development is, in truth, the voice of Lucy.
