Rowena Perry aka Lady E was born in Spanish Harlem New York, raised by a single mother in NYC Housing Authority project she is no stranger to struggle. It was through her struggles that her love for music blossomed. From a young age she loved to sing which inspired her to join the school chorus. For her, music was a distraction from her everyday life. In time she met the love of her life and got married, over the next 13 years she became occupied with married life working 9 to 5 and being a good wife she lost touch with her music, she began to write poetry in her spare time to sustain her creativity. Then Hardbody aka HB (her nephew) came to live with her in 2005. At first HB was struggling to find his way, coming out of a very negative time in his life where he only knew one way to survive. His Aunt (Lady E) feared he would slip back to the street life. Then came the music……
