Lydia Loveless Biography

The country music performer Lydia Loveless was born in 1990 in Coshocton, Ohio. Young Lydia grew up on her family farm, completing her studies at home and feeling somewhat sheltered for most of her upbringing. When she was fourteen years old, she moved to Columbus, Ohio, where her dreams of someday becoming a performer started to take root. Loveless also had the advantage of being from a musical family, and so it was no surprise that she initially teamed up with her sisters and her father to create her first band in 2004.

The band was short-lived, and Lydia Loveless struck out on her own in 2007. A chance meeting with David Rhodes Brown led to the production of her first album, The Only Man, which arrived in 2010 but had taken nearly three years to complete. The album was only moderately successful, but Lydia’s sophomore endeavor, Indestructible Machine, fared much better upon its arrival in 2012, earning critical acclaim.

Although Lydia Loveless is just getting started and clearly a star on the rise, she has been praised by Rolling Stone as one of its “10 New Artists You Need to Know” and by Spin Magazine as one of the “5 Best New Artists.” Her most recent album, Somewhere Else, arrived in 2014. Loveless is the focus of a documentary film currently in pre-production. The project, titled Who is Lydia Loveless?, launched a Kickstarter campaign in January of 2015 to raise funds for its production.
