She has released five self-funded studio albums to date — Orbit (2016), Paper Castles (2019), Glow (2021), Child's Play (2021) and Shelter (2023) — alongside two live albums, three EPs and various singles.
Since 2019, she has also been active in her side project called Strongboi, a duo which features her keyboard player from her band.[2]
Lou spent her childhood in Kommetjie on west coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa and attended a Waldorf school.[3] Her parents are documentary filmmakers.[3] She took piano and guitar lessons as a child.[4][5] When she was 14 years old she was fond of trance music and started to take photographs from concerts, sometimes even getting paid for them.[6] In 2010, she spent her summer holiday in Paris living first with her aunt but soon moved to live with a friend and started earning money by fire-dancing.[4] She has two younger brothers who are twins and grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, The Velvet Underground and Portishead.[7] Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, she would spend 4 months every year in South Africa visiting with family and friends. She has lived in Berlin, Germany since she was 19 years old. [8] She resides in the Berlin neighborhood, Neukölln. [9]
She took a gap year after graduating from high school in South Africa in 2012, and settled in Europe, first to Amsterdam and then to Berlin.[4] In Berlin, she started to sing and play guitar as she found out that this was more lucrative than fire-dancing.[4] After her gap year she contemplated attending university in South Africa,[10] but eventually decided to purchase a battery powered amplifier and return to Berlin instead.[4] In Berlin, she performed on S- and U-Bahn stations and parks.[4][11] After one month in Berlin, she played on a television programme.[12] In April 2014 she self-released "Momentum" EP.[13] The song "Fiery Heart, Fiery Mind" from the EP featured in the soundtrack of the 2015 released film "Ayanda".[14] She also started to play in venues.
