Bringing soulful sounds, Alesia Lani takes us back to the heart of music. Classified under the Neo-Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop, Lani definitely gives us an earful. Her single "Sunshine" highlights her soulful appeal, while her other songs like "Getaway" and "The Way" capture her R&B/Hip-hop attitude.
Born a Midwesterner and raised Texan, Lani's unique voice could fill and silence a room. She worked on multiple singles such as "Ghost", "Problem Child" and many other artists. When Lani turned 18, she broadened her artistic experience by modeling in music videos including “Walk with a Dip” by Baby Bash and Charlie boy's “On My Momma.” She's also been featured in PeaCe's "Contradictions." Now, Lani is a solo artist who is only gaining momentum with recent release of album “First Impressions”. Her solo career start is reminding us of sounds like Billie Holiday, Chrisette Michele and John Legend (not a bad beginning). We can only think of what great things the future holds for this talented, soul-enriched artist. See Lani and more amazing artists at the 3rd Annual Austin Chronicle Cookout on June 27.
