Eliza McLamb (born January 17, 2001)[1] is an American indie rock musician from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[2]
Eliza McLamb was born on January 17, 2001, and grew up an only child in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[3] Her mother was a photographer.[4] McLamb graduated high school a year early as the valedictorian and went to George Washington University to study political science, planning to go on to law school.[3] In 2020, during her second year, she had to move back in with her father in North Carolina due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6][4]
The same year, McLamb was "inspired" by the newly released album Fetch the Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple, and left her father's house to work on farms, through WWOOF, across the country during the summer.[4][3] She lived in a friend's shed for a few months in Los Angeles while working as a door-to-door solar panel salesperson, and then nannied to make enough money to move in with another friend, Julia Hava.[5][4]
In 2024, McLamb left Los Angeles and moved into an apartment with her boyfriend in New York, stating she "felt stranded out there"—a feeling she explored in her 2024 single, "God Take Me Out of LA".[3]
