Life Walsh was born in the Essex town Burnham-on-Crouch. A graduate of the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, she released her first album, Clocktower Park (produced by Lee Russell), in 2003 through Kitchenware Records. The album was named after a meeting place in her home town. In 2007, she released her second album, Tim's House. It quickly became the No. 1 album on the UK iTunes Store. The album also features her most popular song, "Your Song". She gained iTunes customers' attention when her song "Talk of the Town" became the iTunes Free Single of the Week from the week beginning 20 March 2007.

Her single "Your Song" was featured in the 2008 film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging as well the 2008 film The Crew, the 2010 film The Decoy Bride, and on the TV show Grey's Anatomy. In 2011, she discussed the release of her newest album The Real Thing and her tour.
On 5 September 2012, she announced on her Facebook page that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from her music career to do something else: "By taking time out and putting some distance between me and my songs I am now, for the first time, able to start letting go of the past and can begin to move forward in a new and exciting direction".
After becoming a piano teacher and raising a family she returned to performance with new songs. She agreed to play at St Matthias' Church, Stoke Newington in November 2025.
