Lavender Fire is a piano-based singer/songwriter from Norfolk, Virginia. Formerly known under her first name Cecilee, she makes contemplative and moody piano-led pop music in the vein of Tori Amos, Kate Bush and Charlotte Martin, with a bit of Christine and the Queens for good measure. Her debut single Lavender Fire - EP was released in July 2024, followed by Roommates in January 2025. She plans to frequent local open mic nights in the Hampton Roads area as she prepares her first full-length release under her new name, Of Light and Shadows, in late 2025.
"Lavender Fire is a minimalist musician but there is nothing minimal about the complex nature of the music she is producing. It is emotionally powerful, it is captivating. It is inspiring. By telling her story, she’s channeling a cultural significance that every person has experienced, from one view or another, and she clarifies how ridiculous it is to politicize human beings for being diverse. Differences have never made people less human. In fact, they’ve always been the things that have separated us from our primitive beginnings. Our will. Our reason. Our evolution." - Jeff Thomas, Fifteen Minutes of Fame
