來自加拿大的女歌手Lily Frost, 早在1989年便開始了她的音樂生涯,可惜這一路并不平坦. 從加拿大的音樂重地Montreal到埃及的Cairo,再回到Vancouver,最終落腳在Toronto的她,曾組過以翻唱老歌為主的樂隊(duì)The Sheiks, 也試過在異國(guó)的油輪上以駐場(chǎng)歌手為職業(yè).直到1992年,和朋友Minstrel Jorge Diaz組成了樂隊(duì)The Colorifics, Frost才算是真正開始了她的創(chuàng)作歷程. 之后,不但有大學(xué)電臺(tái)選播The Colorifics的歌曲,樂隊(duì)還獲得了大量現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出的機(jī)會(huì),并在演出的時(shí)候出售他們四張自資專輯,銷量雖不能算巨大倒也讓人欣慰.
到了1998年, Frost決定單飛,并在器材都是借回來的艱難狀況下,錄制了首張個(gè)人專輯. 2001年, 隨著在德國(guó),日本等地的發(fā)行,Frost的名字漸漸出現(xiàn)在樂評(píng)人的文章里,并獲得不俗的評(píng)價(jià), "Who Am I"一曲更被收錄在電影的原聲帶里. 03年起, Frost又開始了新專輯的錄制,這一次,她幾乎一手包辦了專輯的所有創(chuàng)作,終于在04年正式完成.

Singer/songwriter Lily Frost draws on influences of '60s pop, fashion, and art to create her engaging brand of not-easily pigeonholed music. Painfully shy, the introverted Frost spent years expressing herself in her diary entries, gradually setting them to music and putting years of classical piano training to use. By 1989, she was studying jazz and French at Concordia University in Montreal and was performing '20s covers in a local group called the Sheiks. To escape from the Montreal winters, Frost took a job singing on a ship in Cairo, Egypt, performing standards and torch songs seven nights a week, for six months, before returning to Vancouver in 1992 to front the Colorifics, who embraced '50s-style swing and attracted a following along the West Coast. The group scored at college radio when they released one of Frost's compositions, "Soda Pop," but Frost, wanting to pursue more contemporary sounds, released the solo effort Lunamarium, which was re-packaged and re-released when she signed with Nettwerk. Promoting the record, which was well-received by critics, Frost had the opportunity to share the stage with acts that included Coldplay, Cowboy Junkies, and the Dandy Warhols. She also continued to work concurrently with the band Mimosa.
