Manchester-based songwriter Lusaint will be joining us this year at Neighbourhood Festival. We asked her about her favourite Manchester spots, her 2024 so far, and more. Lusaint’s EP ‘Self Sabotage’ is out on 13th September.
Read our chat below and catch Lusaint live at Neighbourhood Festival on Saturday 5th of October.
What is your favourite song of yours – and why?
They all feel special in their own ways due to how I wrote them and the meanings behind them. But I’d say Remember Me is the most fun to perform. Especially with my full band behind me. I’m very excited to release it!
You’ll be joining us this year at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Fest! What are your favourite venues in Manchester?
I love YES! And other music venues I love are Deaf Institute and Matt and Phreds.
What does a typical night out in Manchester look like for you?
I’m not a huge lover of out-out. Haha but my favourite place to eat is Sparrows restaurant followed by Schofields for cocktails!
If you could collaborate with another artist, who would it be?
Any artist ever would have been Ella Fitzgerald. She will always be a huge inspiration for me. There is no one quite as pitch perfect as that lady was.
What have been your top 3 moments of 2024 so far?
My first tour in France that sold out which was so unexpected and hearing people singing my songs back was such an incredible feeling!
Performing on Taratata – television. And performing my song ‘Sweet Tooth’
Performing at Boardmasters festival and being with my band.
