==Early Life and Family==
Lucy was born in London, the daughter of British conductor and composer Kerry Woodward and his American wife, a former staff editor on ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'' who had studied for the opera. Her parents were involved in editing a performance edition of Viktor Ullmann’s opera ''Der Kaiser von Atlantis'' and mounting its first performances in many countries. When her father was appointed musical director of the Netherlands Chamber Choir, the family relocated to Amsterdam. When her parents separated two years later, Lucy and her younger brother accompanied her mother back to the New York area, where they lived in close contact with her maternal grandparents, meteorologist James Halitsky and his wife Sylvia, an educational psychologist at a residential treatment center for court-referred children. Lucy’s mother worked on subsequent editions of ''Grove Dictionaries'', bellydanced professionally, and became a music teacher and chorusmaster in the NYC public school system.
Raised on classical and Middle-Eastern music, Lucy studied piano and flute before asking for singing lessons at age 12. She attended a Bronx high school renowned for its music department and made her first recordings singing house music in her friends’ basements. She spent part of each summer in music camp and part in the Netherlands, where she frequently locked herself up in her father’s studio and listened to jazz and old R&B records. At 16 she was accepted into the Manhattan School of Music to study jazz, but after a year decided to learn her songwriting and performing skills on her own. She spent the next few years performing in swing-organ trios, working as a session singer, waiting tables, and singing jazz standards in Greenwich Village restaurants.
