Singing those blues away, one note at a time…

Louisa Rowley is an artist that blends unique, 21st century problems with the sounds of vintage blues, soul and jazz. A new tour-de-force on the London music scene, this singer-songwriter uses her experiences of anxiety, late-diagnosed autism and post-adolescence to craft a sound that is as distinctive as it is relatable. Kitted out in a distinctive flower crown and some kind of vintage-inspired, second-hand outfit, this singer is sure to be your next favourite artist!  

 

​

Taking her influence from a number of different artists, Louisa’s sound is comparable to the likes of Stephen Sanchez and Bonnie Raitt and is best described as Elvis meets Amy Winehouse! She started writing music, aged 18, to help her cope with her anxiety and has since used the music to explore her mental health, late-diagnosed autism and experiences of post-adolescence. Having fallen in love with jazz, and subsequently, blues and soul, Louisa began her first singing class at 19 and began performing soon after! She has since performed across South, North and East London, most notably making appearances at the North London Tavern’s Kilburn Folk Fest and Hotvox’s Future Icon Quarter Finals at O’Neills in Wardour Street.  Louisa began releasing music in 2022, amassing almost 10k streams independently in the time since her debut. After the release of her first two singles, Can’t Escape The Blues, and Love Me For All My Flaws, Louisa decided to write and release an EP, detailing her experiences of a nervous breakdown, adult autism diagnosis and the multiple messy attempts heal. Released at the end of 2025, the EP, Anxious Soul, was a unique blend of 60’s blues, funk and soul ballads. Paired with the modern and sleek production of Richard Marc, and the raw and deep lyricisms of Rowley the EP was described by Blues in Britain’s, Arthur Ely, as having “thoughtful lyrics delivered by Louisa’s strong voice, supported by a tight band and well worth a listen”. Tracks from Anxious Soul have since featured on community radio shows such as Something Old, Something New and, Discover Her Music.

 

 

Following up on the success of her debut, Louisa surprised fans in March 2026, releasing Anxious Soul: Deluxe Edition, featuring some acoustic versions of her better-known tracks. Celebrating the release with a headline show at historic venue, the Ringside, with support from brilliant up-andcoming acts, Cal Ruddy, and Erica Jean, the show’s blend of retro music and aesthetics with Louisa’s distinctive and eclectic stage presence made for a memorable night. The show was a creative collaboration between Louisa Rowley and Jude O’Flanagan/Hatman Productions, and showcased the singular charm and energy of Louisa as both an artist and performer. Supported ever-so-wonderfully by her backing band, playfully dubbed, The Rowlettes, this artist is very quickly making her mark on the independent music scene in the UK.  

 

 

Looking to the future, Louisa is beginning work on her second EP, hoping to focus her time on writing and recording over the next few months. With her current end goal being Eurovision, Louisa is looking to the stars, so expect to see her on a global stage in the next few years! There is nothing that can slow this artist down!
