Lady Sanity: Women Make Music
Hailing from Birmingham, Lady Sanity, is a twenty-two year old MC with a message.
Her musical interests developed in her teenage years, when she began teaching herself how to play the guitar, exploring music technology and song writing. The desire to become an empowering female emcee led her to network worldwide with producers, rappers and singers over the Internet.
With influences from multiple genre’s Lady Sanity takes inspiration from the greats such as Lauryn Hill, MC Lyte and Missy Elliot.
In 2014, positive responses to her debut mix-tape, Construction, and support from the BBC, encouraged the rapper to establish herself further in the music industry.
Since performing at ‘A night of new music with 6 music’s Tom Robinson’, ahead of the BBC Music Awards in Birmingham, she released two EP’s; ‘Summer in September’ and most recently the widely acclaimed ‘The Graduate’.
With slots at Glastonbury Festival and a main stage slot at Boom Bap Festival last summer, Lady Sanity is making her mark.
This year has already proved to be a huge one for this MC with the announcement of the release of her latest EP ‘For Figures’ alongside slots at ‘New Skool Rules’ and a main stage slot at ‘B-Side Hip Hop Festival’ Birmingham.
The new era of real female emcee’s are back; and Lady Sanity is one to watch for, rising on the rap scene.
