Pop-Artist Lilo Baier On Performing On The Voice, Touring, And New EP “Introducing Lilo”

This young singer was born for this!

You may remember this amazing artist for her incredible performances as a contestant on “The Voice Kids Germany”. Now, she’s here with her debut EP entitled “Introducing Lilo”. And can we just say: we’re obsessed.

We had the amazing honor of talking with Lilo on ‘Better In Time’, favorite hobbies, and more!

Q: When did you first realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

L: “I have been performing since I was 4 years old and it has always been my passion. I was in international touring musicals such as Cinderella, Shrek, Peter Pan, Evita and International touring plays like 1984 G.Orwell. I won first place in an International Vocal Competition and performed live in Carnegie Hall, NYC. At the same time I was a lot in front of the camera. My first big TV role was when I was 10 years old as a Lead Role in the 30 episode TV series “Ollie & Friends”. 2019 I booked another big TV show, The Singapore Grip. It was a huge international production which ran on BBC and ITV. I was the only child on set and the whole cast was so lovely, it was amazing – I had the best time on set. In the same year I participated in the live TV show The Voice Kids Germany. I was on live TV singing at the blind auditions and all 4 judges turned their chairs and started singing and dancing along. This was very special for me and inspired me to start writing my own songs as I really felt that I want to express myself through my own songs. I’m very excited that it finally happened. I poured many of my very personal experiences of the last years into the songs.”

Q: Tell us about your brand new EP “Introducing Lilo”.

L: “This EP summarizes lots of what happened in my life over the last years. From moving to a new country when I left Singapore and came to the US. I also reflect on all the tougher times and how really believing in my dreams always helped me. My EP contains 5 different songs that have different styles to them. Some ballads and some mid/ fast tempo songs!”

 
Q: If you had to pick, what song is your favorite on the EP and why?

L: “The song “Better in Time” is a beautiful emotional ballad. It’s about how there may be bumps in a life’s journey, but by believing in yourself and never giving up, things get better in time. I hope this song also inspires other young artists in believing in their dreams.”

Q: You also dabble in acting; what was it like to film the hit TV series  “Ollie & Friends S4”.

L: “I played the lead role  ‘Page’ in the Singapore Hit TV show Ollie Friends S4. We filmed 30 episodes. It involved acting, singing and dancing – so that was an amazing experience as I could combine everything that I love doing into one project. I had so much fun on set daily and we were all like a big family. I was super sad when we wrapped up the season.”

Q: When not singing, what are some of your favorite things to do?

L: “I love styling clothes, baking, drawing and all artsy things. All creative things just come Come naturally to me and I can relax while doing it.“

Q: Who is your biggest music inspiration, and why?

L: “There are many. One of my favorite artists who has also influenced me a lot is Taylor Swift. I love all of her songs – her melodies and the lyrics are very engaging. She is so powerful, and is such a nice person too. She started singing at a young age and worked so hard all her life. That inspires me as I can really relate to that. She also influenced me to write my own music and be able to express myself through it. Taylor is a real role model.”

Q: What are some of your biggest goals in your career?

L: “I would like further work on my singing and acting career. On the singing side I see myself to further try out different music styles and go on and record more songs. I’m in a phase where I like to experiment a lot to really find ‘my voice’. On the acting side I would like to continue to be part in TV and movie projects. I love being in front of the camera and that really energizes me. Maybe one day I can combine both my passions and film a musical.”

Q: Where can we follow your amazing journey?

L: “All my socials are @lilobaier.”
