Lakai- Making The New Album

During the mid-1970s, just as American soul music reached its golden age, I entered the world in the City of Angels with a heart for song and a passion to perform. Soul music became a defining passion, when my love for this form first blossomed during early childhood, and was nurtured by my musician father and his fellow performers. 

Today I am pursuing my calling for music. My broad vocal range and stylistic fluency allows me to flow seamlessly, effortlessly vocalizing across a variety of forms from Gospel, Soul and Rock to Popular Contemporary styles. At the heart of my essence is a desire to share my musical gift with others.  Thriving in the moment – whether I’m gracing the stage at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater or performing in an intimate Bay Area venue – I am energized by the emotional connection with my audience. 

“LaKai’s music inspires ,uplifts and awakens the soul. She is a grassroots artist, great person and talented vocalist. As a music industry professional for years, there is no doubt in my mind that LaKai will be a force to reckon with,” says Grammy nominated producer, Prince Damons. 

Since July 2015, I have been working tirelessly on a self-funded soul album, representing significant experiences that have shaped my life. Over the past nine months my dreams have become a reality. To date, I have completed eight songs and am in need of additional support to complete the final stages of my music project.

Your contribution, big or small, will go towards photography / videography, music production, album duplication, copyright and licensing fees, design artwork / print work, promotional materials, performances, merchandise, music videos, website and other various artistic needs to help launch my career. 

So excited to make this happen with you- looking forward to what is to come! With your donations, I’m confident I will be on track to fulfill my destiny.  Thank you for your support.
