"You cannot make artists like Prema LaNay. They just are."
Jimmy Iovine, Co-founder of Interscope Records
From the small town outside of Atlanta, Georgia to an international tour spanning Europe and Japan, Prema LaNay is a star on the rise.
The simple gift of a flute from her Grandfather sparked Prema’s love of music as a young child. Her journey hasn’t been an easy one; as a determined artist, Prema has lived thru life-changing circumstances and lost loved belongings such as her grandfather’s flute. All the while, she continued on her quest to find a producer - prospecting in underground beat battles and recording anywhere she could find a microphone, from coat closets to storage warehouses.
And now, her hard work has paid off.
In spring 2007, Prema signed with Interscope Records. It was an instant connection, with Iovine declaring her “a marvelous writer” and setting Prema on the path to her first major album, scheduled for release early in 2008.
Prema’s style, itself, is almost indescribable - attracting attention from fans of R&B, rap, underground, punk and pop music. Her unique sound has been called “a cure to the current state of the music business”…“soft and sexy with hints of gangsta.”
More than just a gifted performer, Prema has written songs in countless genres, toured nationally as a backup dancer, and lent her vocal talents to numerous CD’s. As a result, the music industry is taking notice of Prema, with recent mentions in publications like Vibe and Creative Loafing.
No longer just a little girl with a flute and the hope of becoming a musician, Prema LaNay has paid her dues and is poised to take the recording industry by storm. In her own words: "I realized I could live my life everyday supporting someone else's dream while hoping they keep me around or I could spend this one life I have making mine come true." Clearly, she is on her way to doing just that.
