About LANi

I was a poet first, a child pulling words from her heart and piecing them together into a romantic, pondering, sometimes deep and dark format. Lines fell together into a big red binder, now officially called 'the red book'.

I remember the mystical shape of the acoustic guitar at my grandparents' place. My aunt and uncle played it from what I remember. It was foreign and beautiful. It excited and intimidated me. I wanted to play it like a kid wanted the $100.00 item in the store window, with 50 cents in her pocket.

Well, eventually I did learn to play, enough to weave music into the words. At the age of 15, I managed to garner my first guitar and my first influence, a friend and fellow musician. The singing was the most natural part, teaching myself to pitch and tuning my ear through sheer desire and determination. Later in life, I centered myself enough to appreciate the benefits of professional vocal training. As a female vocalist, it is opening a whole new world full of fascinating concepts.

What are the songs about? Life experience and the feelings that go with them. At first a means of channeling my emotions, now a powerful way to connect with people and ignite their long lost feelings of passion. The great thing about really living, is we get to go from childhood (a state of unknowing) to maturity (a state of knowing) every time we throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a new venture. We have different experiences, all of us. Our emotions and desires can be strikingly similar. And music speaks all languages.

Many friendships and influences have been born out of my love for creating original music and many are yet to come. It is my hope that you will enjoy what you hear and gain insight, courage, healing, inspiration or some other benefit from the the music and words I have packaged together and called 'my songs'.
