Lorna Blackwood is a leading light in the world of vocal production and coaching. Eager to help her clients with anything from warm-up techniques to preparations for major TV performances, Blackwood’s skills have been called upon by the likes of Tom Walker, Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, Grace Carter, Nina Nesbitt, Mabel and George Ezra to name a few. Dua even says “Honey, Lemons and Lorna – that’s all I need.” while Ezra describes her as “my secret ingredient,” and Rae Morris praises her for “changing the way I think and feel about performing live.”  

In the last few years, Lorna’s vocal production career has gone from strength to strength. Her first major success came from her production with George Ezra on his globally acclaimed album, ‘Wanted On Voyage.’ Building on that momentum, Lorna’s career as a producer went stratospheric after she was called upon to produce vocals for Dua Lipa on Future Nostalgia. The album culminated in Lorna winning her first Grammy for Best Pop Vocal at the 2021 awards.

Since then, Lorna has been called upon to produce vocals for a myriad of international pop stars, including Tom Walker, Ellie Goulding, Mabel and Calum Scott. Most recently, Lorna produced vocals across the debut Sam Ryder album ‘There’s Nothing But Space, Man’ which debuted at #1 in the UK album charts. Lorna lent her skills to the huge M.O radio hit, ‘Bad Vibes’ and current Jax Jones single ‘Whistle’. It comes as no surprise that she won Vocal Producer Of The Year at the 2022 MPG Awards.

Blackwood’s career started when she left Arts Educational London Schools and went into musicals. She soon discovered she wanted to delve further into the land of vocals and took a natural side step to the world of gigging and song writing. Blackwood’s coaching style is fun and individually catered to each singer’s personality, song-writing, voice, style and ability. She prides herself in being able to get the finest results from all her vocalists and at the same time keep them vocally safe, strong and fit for the challenges of touring. Lorna has run a series of successful vocal camps over the last few years.

Her unique and talented approach to vocal coaching has lead Lorna to coach some of the industry’s biggest singers, such as Years & Years, Rae Morris, Rationale, Dan Caplen, The XX, Sampha, Tom Misch , Mabel, Tom Walker and Lewis Capaldi. Additionally, she has also been making sure the vocals of Tom Grennan, Tom Walker, Taya, Grace Carter and Youngr are in shape for their shows and sessions. Very recent additions to Lorna’s roster include Maisie Peters, Mae Stephens, Baby Queen, Victor Ray, Solomon, and Michael Aldag.

Whether in need of vocal coaching, or the right direction in vocal production, Lorna Blackwood can help any artist bring out the best in their voice, and enable them to develop it as a vital, long-lasting tool.
