Groovy Bassist aka Resident Joker - Lydia


Lydia.

Wow, where do we start?

Lydia, one of the founders of the band, is the anchor of our sound. With an acute music sense, spot-on hearing and killer moves on the bass, Lydia could be a solo act. Her subtle notes seduce and command attention, like the dark, mysterious, good looking stranger at the corner of the bar. Her deep bass lines resonate and make one weak in the knees ("it's true," exclaims Shyn Yee, "it's orgasmic!") Lydia is also easily the most disciplined member of the band, usually whipping everyone into shape and making sure everyone goes to practice with proper preparation.

Also a budding song writer, Lydia has written several original songs for the band, such as the catchy bossa-styled "Addicted to You" (gets the audience hooked every time!); and a creator of very corny jokes (e.g. "can I capo your capo? hurr hurr hurr"). Her reflective and melancholic side serves as a strong inspiration in her song writing, and her jolly nature and attention to the little things in life provide her with material for her jokes. Equipped with that and her sincere and caring personality, friends and colleagues are drawn to her (not so much like moths to a flame, more like... bees to honey.)

Lydia dedicates her time to her profession in online marketing and her duties at church. Also with a strong passion for travel (seems to be a common interest among all the Scarlettes!), she finds every opportunity to sneak away for an adventure. It's a good thing then, that she has low stamina for shopping (for non-guitar related stuff, that is) - all her savings could be channeled into traveling!

Catch Lydia LIVE at Concert for a Cause: Scarlett Rocks for aidha @ TAB on April 8, Friday!
