Lou Roy has been played on NTS shows including The Sam Wilkes Radio Hour, with Valkyrie first played on 23 September 2021.

Lou Roy is a multi-genre singer and songwriter from the LA suburb of Topanga Canyon. She sang in a metal band in high school, got more into R&B as a college freshman, and gravitated to indie folk a few years later. She spent the second half of the 2010s recording and performing as Huxlee, but a bad experience in the music industry left her self-esteem at rock bottom. She ended up relaunching her project in 2019 under the Lou Roy moniker – a combination of her parents’ middle names.
