Lucy Collin Biography & Facts
Lucy Elizabeth Dacus ( DAY-kəss; born May 2, 1995) is an American singer-songwriter and producer. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Dacus attracted attention with her debut album No Burden (2016), which led to a deal with Matador Records. Historian, her second album, was released in 2018 to critical acclaim. Home Video, her third studio album, was released in 2021. In addition to her solo work, Dacus is also a member of the indie supergroup Boygenius, with Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers. The band has released one studio album and two EPs to critical acclaim and widespread touring. The band won 3 Grammy Awards in 2024, including Best Alternative Music Album. They also became the first all-female band to win Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance. In October 2023, Rolling Stone named Dacus the 213th-greatest guitarist of all time, noting: "[her] guitar is as essential an instrument as her voice". Early life Dacus was adopted as an infant and grew up in Mechanicsville, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond. She is of Uzbek and Irish descent. Her adoptive mother is a professional pianist and music teacher, and her adoptive father is a graphic designer. Dacus had an early interest in music, and bought her first guitar, an Ibanez, from Craigslist when she was in middle school. After graduating from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in 2013, she began studying film at Virginia Commonwealth University, but left to avoid student debt and the "feeling of being misunderstood" in her university program. Prior to becoming a full-time musician, she was employed by Richmond Camera as an editor for children's school photos. During this time, she wrote approximately 30 songs, nine of which would comprise the tracklist of No Burden. Career 2012: Girls Back Home Dacus released the EP Girls Back Home on Bandcamp on August 31, 2012 when she was a senior in high school. The track list consists of seven songs: "Girls Back Home", "Finest Cursive", "Pretty Girl", "Lullaby", "Time Travel", "Black Lungs", and "Kiddie Pool". Like all her other projects, it includes production from Collin Pastore and Jacob Blizard. It was digitally available for a time, but Dacus took it down shortly before her debut album No Burden was released. In a Reddit AMA, she stated she took it down because she "didn’t want this EP to be somebody’s first impression of her". For years after its removal from Bandcamp, the songs were considered lost. However, internet user Lucyhistorian managed to salvage the entire track list. It is currently available in its entirety on YouTube, but no official label release exists. 2015–2018: No Burden and Historian Dacus first performed in New York City in March 2015. Her first single, "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore", premiered in November 2015. Her debut album No Burden was produced in Nashville by her hometown friends, Berklee College of Music graduate Collin Pastore and Oberlin Conservatory of Music graduate Jacob Blizard; it was recorded at the request of Blizard for a school project. The album was originally released digitally on CD, and on vinyl via Richmond's EggHunt Records on February 26, 2016. Dacus was then signed to Matador Records, who re-released the album on September 9, 2016. In the same year she performed at Lollapalooza, in Chicago's Grant Park and made her national television debut on CBS This Morning. She recorded a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR the same weekend. In October 2016 she played the London Calling festival in Amsterdam, as a replacement for The Duke Spirit, who had been forced to cancel.Dacus's second album, titled Historian, was released on March 2, 2018. Like its predecessor, it was met with widespread critical acclaim. Writing for Pitchfork, Sasha Geffen praised its nuance and sensitivity: "It’s not an easy album to wear out. It lasts, and it should, given that so many of its lyrics pick at time, and the way time condenses around deep emotional attachments to other people." Rolling Stone rated the album 4/5 stars, as did NME. Historian, like No Burden, was recorded in Nashville, at Trace Horse Studio, in a similar collaborative effort by Lucy Dacus, Jacob Blizard, and Collin Pastore. 2018–present: Boygenius, 2019 EP, and Home Video In 2018, Dacus, along with Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, formed the group boygenius. They released three songs in August 2018 and subsequently announced an EP and tour. The EP, titled boygenius, came out on October 26, 2018. To coincide with Valentine's Day 2019, Dacus released a cover of "La Vie en rose", the first in a planned series of songs commemorating major holidays.In 2021, Home Video was released on June 25. She performed one of the album's singles "Hot & Heavy" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 13. On November 10, Dacus released her single "Thumbs Again", a re-release of her song "Thumbs" with additional instrumentation, alongside the announcement of 2022 US tour dates.On February 2, 2022, Dacus released a single "Kissing Lessons", which was accompanied by a music video. During 2022, Dacus toured Europe, Australia and America.Dacus released a music video for the song "Night Shift" for the five-year anniversary of her album "Historian" in March 2023. Boygenius released their debut full-length studio album, titled The Record, on March 31, 2023, after releasing 4 singles.As of the 1st of February 2024, Boygenius is on hiatus, 'for the forseeable future'. Activism After Texas's new abortion law went into effect on September 1, 2021, Dacus announced on Twitter that all the money she makes at her upcoming shows in Texas "will be going towards abortion funds." She also informed her fans to bring extra money to her Houston and San Antonio shows for the donation to the abortion funds. During her Home Video Tour in July 2022, Dacus announced that she and her supporting act Camp Cope would be donating tips from the merchandise stand to the organization Fund Abortion Not Police.While performing with Boygenius at Coachella in April 2023, the band spoke in support of trans rights following bills proposed in states like Florida and Missouri. At a later tour date in June 2023 in Tennessee, Dacus and her fellow band members performed in drag in protest of anti-drag legislation that state governor Bill Lee signed into law that was blocked in federal court.After former President Barack Obama included "Not Strong Enough" by boygenius on his annual summer playlist, Dacus quote tweeted him, saying "war criminal :(". Personal life Dacus was raised Christian but is no longer religious. She identifies as queer. Dacus lived in Richmond, Virginia until late 2019. As of October 2023, she resides in Los Angeles, having previously resided in Philadelphia.
