About Me

Hailing from the South Shore of Boston, MA, I moved to Hollywood, Cali to pursue my music dreams... I started in radio as a record promoter and used the gig to make connects... Next, I was in a girl group, which shortly dissolved... Then I landed a gig that really solidified my drive to succeed in the music industry - Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood... It was there that I sat and listened while Usher and Li'l Jon recorded "Yeah!", where I saw Kanye record "The College Dropout" album, where I met everyone from Janet Jackson to Gwen Stefani to the legendary Lionel Richie - with whom I had an amazing conversation about what it takes to be a star...I've worked with some of the best in the business...producers such as Ryan Leslie (Beyonce, Usher, Britney), 2-time Grammy nominee Kendrick Dean (Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Ciara), J-Praize (50 Cent), Flip Matrix (Tyra, Capone-N-Noreaga), Grammy-award winning engineer Pete Novak (Outkast)... Even have some demos under my belt for prolific songwriter Diane Warren... I also work with an extremely talented up-and-comer, producer Jean T. Na (Pussycat Dolls, MTV, MGM Films)...I always knew I was going to perform... My earliest shows were for family and my neighbors - people I insisted pay me a dollar to sit and watch me... hahaha... But the aspirations and hustle of my young years were definitely indicators of what was ahead for me... To date I've played several venues in the Hollywood/LA area, both solo and with a great band called The Vapor Project...Please check me out at my official website... www.loriannmusic.com ... which has earned international acclaim and generated over a million hits on word of mouth alone, and SPREAD THE WORD!!!A lil bit of what I've done...ALL ACCESS - Spotlight Track- www.allaccess.com featured "ALL I NEED"RADIO EXPRESS - RHYTHMIC/CROSSOVER and MAINSTREAM TOP 40 - "ALL I NEED" featured alongside the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Memphis Bleek, and AshantiMASS DESTRUCTION MIXTAPE - volume 1 - "BEANTOWN" feat.
