Normandie Wilson grew up in various small towns across West Virginia, listening to her mom's old Carpenters records and her dad's B.B. King and Muddy Waters tapes. (Separately) She is primarily a self-taught pianist and multi-instrumentalist.
In 2006 she moved to California and began playing with San Diego indie-pop collective Red Pony Clock. In 2007, she met songwriting collaborator Sebastian Clark, and they began working together writing luscious, layered pop music. Their debut album, "Music For Smart People," will be released independently in July 2009.
