Siblings Billy Timoci Beddoes, known as Billy T, and Nicky Beddoes are on a mission to honor the musical legacy of their late mother, Lia Osborne. Their project aims to breathe new life into her music, cherishing her original songs while also introducing a modern twist for both longtime fans and new audiences.
As they delve into their mother’s old recordings, a wave of emotions washes over them. Hearing her voice and revisiting past performances not only brings nostalgia but also fuels their creativity for the project. The songs they are reinterpreting serve as a testament to their upbringing, highlighting their mother’s strict yet loving nature and her profound influence on their lives.
Nicky expresses her passion and the sense of responsibility she feels when performing their mother’s songs. “To me, I feel like they think I should live up to that exact standard, but I can say from my chest I’m not as good as my mum. If she were alive today, she would probably tell us to make a name for ourselves and not rely on her name,” she shared, reflecting the balance between honoring their heritage and carving out their own identities.
The siblings are excited to share the first song from this new endeavor, which happens to be one of their favorites. They are planning a special listening event where fans can enjoy both the original tracks and their fresh renditions, promising an engaging experience that showcases the enduring legacy of Lia Osborne’s music.
This heartfelt project not only pays tribute to a beloved artist but also bridges generations, inviting new listeners to connect with her timeless music. The endeavor showcases the enduring power of family ties and the impact of their mother’s artistic spirit on their lives and careers.
