Lana Del Rey

She's Lizzy Grant – a.k.a. Lana Del Rey. The 24-year-old New York native may be a relative unknown who is yet to officially release any music but such is the emotional resonance of her velvety, dulcet tones we reckon you’ll be hearing much more from her in the months and years to come. Born in the rural town of Lake Placid in New York State, Lana spent her formative years moving between Alabama, New Jersey and New York City before more recently relocating to London.

Rising from Oakland's vibrant underground, FEMI celebrates a trio of life forces on her debut EP, "Sweet Water Soul." It has love, the gift of prayer, and is fluid like water, which is the underlying theme of the EP. In tandem with FEMI's jazzy vocals, sensual lyrics, and gracious intent, the result is an unrivaled suite of original songs equally danceable and reverent. For the past 5 years, FEMI helped pioneer a visionary music community in her native Bay Area. She is often categorized as a neo-SOUL soulstress and compared with artists such as Sade, Prince and Minnie Ripperton.
