My name is Lucy Sumner I am attending college at California State University Long Beach, where I plan to further my career in the music and entertainment industry through my degree in Public Relations. Ever since I moved to California, my dreams have only gotten bigger as I have gotten the opportunities to see and experience many different things. I have always been creative and love collaborating and sharing my music. I play five instruments and have been self-taught in recording my music in my at-home studio, aka my bedroom. I love to draw, paint, go out and explore, stay in and binge movies and shows, and love a good Lego set in my free time. I am a bright and enthusiastic person who is always keen on learning more, especially in the arts. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or business opportunities.
Hello!
Musical Background
My musical journey started when I was three in London. I was completely obsessed with the film and soundtrack to “The Sound of Music,” and I would sing along while watching it and never get bored. My parents would expose me to various kinds of artists, and whenever I could sing, I would ( I got shushed a lot on long car rides for singing too loud).
At age six, I performed in the school production of “The Sound of Music,” playing the part of Gretel. I also started learning the violin and fell in love with it. After moving to the U.S., we found a Suzuki school, and I continued all the way to book 8.
Music has never stopped being a passion of mine, but I also grew tired, as kids do, of playing one kind of music, and I wanted a change. When I chose the trumpet in 5th grade, it wasn’t an easy decision. It came down to a moment that I will remember forever when I had to choose between trying the trombone or the trumpet. My heart leaned towards the trumpet, and I have never looked back.
I played in the Marching Band and Wind Ensemble in high school, and every year, I participated in Solo and Ensemble competitions. I had the opportunity to play at one of the Seahawks pre-show and halftime shows, and I will never forget that feeling of standing on the field with thousands of people watching. I also marched 6 miles in the Pasadena Rose Bowl parade, where I had in and out for the very first time, and it was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted after playing and marching for 6 miles. Music is a very big part of who I am, and I still find time as a student to record, practice, and even collaborate with some friends whenever I can, and I hope to do so for many years to come.
