Over the past three years, the Indonesian Scottish musician – better known as Ledbyher – has established herself as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists. A rapper, singer, songwriter, poet, producer, and video director, this multitalented creative is entirely self-taught and has achieved her growing success against all odds. She has carved out a musical identity that is as invigorating as it is uncompromising. It has won her admirers such as Lola Young and Skepta, and collaborators including Sainté, AJ Tracey and Biig Piig.
Over time she’s touched Nu-Wave Jerk, Alt-R&B and vaporous SoundCloud Rap, which she has variously described as, ‘R&B Jazz-tinged bedroom Drill’, ‘Halloween Drill Specials’, and ‘Lady Trap’. Now, The Elephant goes a step further in presenting Ledbyher’s utterly unique oeuvre. “It’s quite female angst but not in a shouty way. It’s a quieter, more internal anguish, I think,” she says.
Ledbyher’s influences are similarly dynamic: Shakespeare and English Romantic poetry; Pedro Almodóvar, Kelly Reichardt and David Lynch; Slipknot and Lana Del Rey; UK drill crews Harlem Spartans and M24. These iconoclasts, and more, have inspired Ledbyher as potently as solo wild camping trips, Ted Talks lectures, YouTube Shamans and her Grandmother Sylvia. What ties these seemingly disparate spheres together is an instinct for mood, texture, tone and storytelling. Ledbyher’s work feels inexorably her own: deeply literate, defiantly emotional, and beautifully intangible.
