Born in Cambridge with Norwegian roots, the indie-folk singer-songwriter’s lilting voice and explorative songwriting has been described as ‘dreamful’ and ‘truly transformative’. At age six, her grandmother bought her a guitar to stop her from sucking her thumb - a gift that sparked a lifelong relationship with music.  

Released in 2025, her third EP Big Old House features 4 tracks: Big Old House, Praying Mantis, Voices and Only In My Dreams. Written and developed at her grandmother’s cabin in rural Norway, the songs journey through the dreamlike state one enters when isolated in the wilderness. 

Fran’s work has resonated widely, earning significant editorial support from Spotify (New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Folk, Peach, The Most Beautiful Songs in The World, Lost In The Woods and more) and Apple Music, alongside recognition from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6.

In the last 18 months, Fran Lusty has sold-out multiple headlines in London and Brighton, gone on two international tours, and performed at major festivals such as Secret Garden Party, Cambridge Folk Festival, Latitude and Wilderness. Fran also won the Road to Lakefest Competition (out of 600 bands), earning a main stage slot at Lakefest this year.
