The fact that this is my career is still mind-blowing to me,” she shared.

In addition to her successful solo album Imposter Syndrome (released in 2023), Lloyd has big aspirations for the future. She dreams of creating a collaborative album with legendary guitarists such as Slash, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai. Moreover, she hopes to inspire the next generation of musicians by hosting masterclasses in schools, particularly encouraging young girls to take up the guitar.
