A first-generation Thai American with big dreams and an even bigger personality, Lys Scott coped with the isolation of Covid-19 by writing her explosive debut album, Squashed Dreams & Broken Wings. Described by WYEP as “what would happen if No Doubt and TLC had a baby with Missy Elliott,” it’s no surprise that Lys stepped into Pittsburgh’s music scene with a bang. Energizing crowds all over the city with in-your-face bangers like "Big Shot" and cozy crowd favorites like "Flowerchild," Lys Scott quickly earned a name for herself, eventually signing with Pittsburgh label Crafted Sounds.
