The wait - my journey with infertility

Lucy West (née Britten) carved out her singing career in Christian bands like V*Enna, BlushUK and LZ7, performing songs and sharing the gospel with countless young people. She’s now using her voice in another way – to talk about infertility

At 19, Lucy had never sung in public before. Her sister persuaded her to record some vocals for a demo and, in that moment, something was ignited: “I remember this feeling inside of me that I’d never felt before and thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, this is who I am.’” At the time, she was studying to become a primary school teacher, but something had shifted: “This one event changed my whole life. I went back to university in Plymouth absolutely convinced that I needed to sing.” She started singing at church, and was invited to join a friend’s band, and “it just went on and on from there”.
