Ukulele Stories: Recent Episodes
Cameron Murray aka KAMUKE
Cool, kind and talented – that’s how I’d describe Lucy LaForge.
The Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter has made waves in the music industry with her indie band project Lucy & La Mer. She’s been featured in the LA Times and HuffPost and has performed at LA Fashion Week, as well as for the Mayor of LA. She’s also worked with major uke brands Kala and Fender.
Away from music, Lucy is known for her mental health and LGBTQ+ advocacy and she presented a powerful TEDx talk in 2022 on the limits of binary thinking and how self-awareness can free us from the boxes we form around our identity. You can watch the talk below.
It was lovely to chat with Lucy, so please have a listen!

Since she began performing with a uke in 2000, Rose has been a fixture on the Australian ukulele scene and has been instrumental - pun very much intended - in popularising the instrument Down Under. In 2004, she organised a concert called Ukulele Land on Sydney's famous Bondi Beach, which turned out to be quite a pivotal event.
