Liam Cromby

Since Liam Cromby shared the first taste of new solo music in March 2023, with the release of‘Here I Am’-produced by longtime collaborator Peter Miles (The Wandering Hearts, Elles Bailey, Seth Lakeman), and accompanied only by a contemplative, artful music video featuringan elaborate dance between two performers-followed by ‘Breakdown’ and ‘At This Table’, this new phase of his career is already off to an impressive start. Known for his work as the lead singer and songwriter of We Are The Ocean until 2017, he’s already spent years on the road as a touring artist, with the band playing headline shows and festival appearances in the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA; and enjoyed consistent support from national radio and press such as BBC Radio 1, NME and Kerrang.

When Liam found himself in Nashville, Tennessee in 2019, he took the opportunity to start connecting with like-minded musicians and songwriters. More importantly, though, the trip had the side effect of reigniting his love for authentic, honest songwriting. Having grown up in a musical family, listening to classic country artists like Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, his time in Music City reminded himself of their influence on his own writing, highlighting that the key ingredients of a good song are often the same, regardless of genre or context. Audiences have already begun to embrace his first steps as a solo artist; with early airplay from BBC Introducing, Absolute Radio Country and Country Line Radio among others, an appearance at The Great Escape festival and sold-out headline shows across the country, Cromby was invited to play at this year’s Black Deer Festival of Americana, and along with a full-band set, joined Brandy Clark, Drake White, Elles Bailey and Bella White for a Songwriter Session
