It has been such an exciting year and having FACTOR as a major supporter and partner of my music has been an invaluable asset to my development as an artist. I released my second album Darling of the Afterglow in March 2017.

With the generous funding from FACTOR I was able to tour my album around the world. From showcase support for SXSW to funding for my first headline tours in North America, U.K, Europe and Japan, the continuing support of FACTOR has allowed me to play for audiences near and far and create meaningful connections with both old and new listeners.

In addition to touring I have been recording and producing my third album with funding I received from the Juried Sound Recording grant. I am nearing completion and look forward to sharing this new collection of songs.

There are no words to describe how much the continuing support from FACTOR means to me. It has given me the freedom to create and promote my music through my own artistic lens and for that I am deeply grateful. —Lydia Ainsworth
