Molly Bancroft

Award-winning singer/songwriter and guitarist/producer MOLLY BANCROFT has tasted quite a bit in her life so far as a musician. Starting humbly from a small town in Michigan as a jazz sax player, she developed a unique sensibility and taste for pop music that expressed the "edges" of mainstream culture. Influenced early on by Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, Molly's ears soon were drawn to Nirvana and obscure British shoegazer bands, and eventually her own music began to reflect those influences. Over her career in music thus far, Molly has been acclaimed both in her solo efforts ("Get Closer" (2003) and "Red Dirt Diaries" (2006 EP), and also with her band LIFT that started it all back in 1995 with three acclaimed CDs and tours opening for the Indigo Girls. Recently, a collaboration with DJs Gabriel and Dresden on a 1 Billboard hit single "tracking treasure down" and other songs on their 2007 artist album has led to Molly's voice and catchy songwriting chops being noticed worldwide. Finding these DJs was a fluke of pure inspiration, as are most of Molly's musical connections. Her ears and soul embody some kind of need for human connection through music - yet her sensibilities are pure pop. The songs that come from such collaborations are truly magical gems that find their way into the marketplace due to talents of others, but originate in a strong desire to touch people through music that reaches the masses.
