Lana D is an artist, poet, author and founder of a non-profit, which allows her to give back to her local community. She grew up singing in the children’s choir at her mom’s baptist church. Having been once voted class quietest and burying her talents for comfort, she felt like the unlikely candidate for God to choose as a disciple. However, she went on to lead, youth praise & worship, at her fathers C.O.G.I.C church. In 2021 she began to release singles showcasing lyricism, which is her way of reciting poetry with cadence to a beat.

Lana D, writes her own songs and credits her musical talents to her God-given gift of articulating poetry and emotions as an empath and channels that into her songwriting. Whether it’s singing or rap, it’s a God-given ability. Music can change a mood, she says, “mostly, I’m trying to either journal my feelings or encourage myself and hopefully it helps others to know that they’re not alone in whatever it is that they’re facing.”

She believes that she is called to those who feel like they’re “not enough” like she once did. She now makes efforts to share her gifts and story (and platform with other independent artist) through her podcast and music so that a generation can be inspired and know God as the ultimate truth & hope.
