All she had was a toy organ that had button chords and a two-octave keyboard. That was enough for her to start composing her little songs that a 6-year-old would write. She's been writing and keeping journals consistently since she was 7-years old, (and yes, she still has them all!)

Lucy is a self-taught pianist and singer—mostly. She had with sporadic periods of classical piano lessons between ages 12-17. One teacher felt she had much to offer and gave her free piano lessons for 2 1/2 years.

Always involved in musical activities, Lucy busied herself with her teenaged band in Dominican Republic, Teen Rock. They played shows in their town, appeared on TV and landed a stadium performance. During high school, she formed Smushed Moth, an alternative rock-band, (and played a total of 1 show.) She wrote her Senior class Alma Matter and moved on to SUNY Purchase for a Music Degree.

Lucy practically double-majored in composition & studio production. She had a knack for studio production and became one of the top recording engineers in the program. Simultaneously, she was in a progressive rock band, Distance. They recorded and released, "Big Chunks of Goodness" before breaking up shortly after graduation.

In 1999, she reemerged in the music scene as Luciar, along with members from Distance as her band. She was warmly received, and soon found herself opening for Seal at Jones beach Amphitheater. In 2000, she released "Rules of the Game", an album showcasing her pop-rock and world music sensibilities. After some light touring, and notable accolades, (Billboard Songwriting Contest and American Songwriting Contest, to name a few), the band parted ways.

Then, life happened. The flippy-floppy artist-head. The inevitable, what-am-I-doing-with-my-life questions were faced, followed by the heartbreak that inspired her next album.

In May 2006, Luciar released "Skin". It tells a story of a relationship lost and the journey to healing. "Skin" is a sparse arrangement of piano and voice, with occasional bouts of drums & bass. With this album, Luciar rediscovered her love for production and engineering. She setup her studio at home, recorded vocals and mixed the entire album.

Her voice has been compared to Tori Amos, Pat Benetar and Ella Fitzgerald—a very broad spectrum of sound. Luciar is a musical moodster, and since she's been touring with nothing but her voice and a piano, she labeled her style Alternative Easy Listening.

You're never quite sure what she's going to do next...it makes you want to stick around to find out.
