Lana Love is a classically trained singer-songwriter, pianist, dancer, and actress. She was born in Atlanta but moved to Naples when she was 12, where she graduated from Gulf Coast High in 2010.

She performed onstage with Theatre Zone, The Naples Players, Opera Naples, and more, so definitively those Naples years were the most musically-formative ones. From there, Love has acted in Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway musicals, and she played Ariel for a year in a Disney Cruise Line production of “The Little Mermaid.”

2022 was 'The Voice' year, an experience that opened a lot of doors and gave her the confidence to go on.

On January 20th, Lana released ‘Parachute’, a beautiful song that, according to her, symbolizes the safety net of people who are waiting for you to come down because they don’t believe you can fly on your own.

“I feel a lot and I love hard. I created this song simply because I wanted to feel peace in letting go of negative patterns and people who don’t serve me anymore”.

Here is the interview she shares with us.

The first thing I want to know is how are you right now

Right now, I am enjoying some darn good vegan Thai. All is well.

Let´s talk about your career. How did it start? When was that moment when you said or decided you wanted to be an artist?

As a child, I was always very drawn to music. I plunked out Phantom of the Opera on the piano when I was 4, so I think it decided for me!

How do you feel your music has been evolving through time?

It evolves with me as I do. The more life I live, the more intentional my music becomes. Right now, I’m really enjoying creating from a place of peace.

Now you have ‘Parachute’. What's the reception with the audience been like?

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m so grateful it resonated with so many people. I wrote this song to connect with others who are also on a healing journey.

What songs are part of this EP? Could you tell us a little about them?

I released 'Parachute' in two different frequencies: 440Hz and 432Hz. Almost all traditional pop music today is released at 440Hz, which can create unease in our bodies. I wanted to offer the option of listening at 432Hz, which is a healing frequency designed to calm and align you from the inside out.

About the single ‘Parachute’ you said “this song is about forgiveness and detachment” and also that you created it simply because you wanted to feel peace in letting go of negative patterns and people who don’t serve you anymore. How powerful is that disclaimer, and yet so simple!

You are so kind, thank you! Negative patterning is like sitting at a slot machine that never had a winning outcome programmed into it…you could sit your whole life there... Changing your luck means changing your old way of thinking, and taking action that aligns with the life you want. Forgiveness is a wonderful tool to do that. Expect cherry red 777s across the board.

We read this song uses binaural beats and one of the versions is tuned to 432Hz, which is known as a healing frequency. Who came up with this idea, how was the process, and what was your interest in it?

I used a mix of all my favorite calming techniques within the song. The binaural beats come from Jose DeSilva’s alpha brainwave meditation method. I listen to healing frequencies often to fall asleep or in meditation. I always felt better after and was curious. So, I did a deep dive and found Dr. Emoto’s work on how different frequencies affect the molecular structure of water and our bodies. I was so fascinated that I decided to experiment with my music.

We know of an artist who used worms to build the melody for one of his songs. The worms were given EEG tests so their brain waves could be tracked. The idea is that the brain frequencies of these little beings are transformed into numbers and, later into music. This leads us to think that more and more, music is becoming a very organic medium to drain emotions. Any thoughts?

That’s fascinating. This is my first time hearing about EEG tests on worms… now I have another deep dive to do!

Parachute's music video is also kind of very real, very genuine, the people in it feel like in a big brotherhood and have good vibes just by looking at them. What can you tell us about this?

Totally good vibes. Working with the talented students at The Space TV is such a gift. They remind me of what it’s all about.

Everything we have discussed so far, your music, your ideas, etc., leads us to think that you are very aware of the value of life. You are also vegan, another valuable decision for humanity. We would like to know how you perceive yourself within the universe. What things do you value, and what are your priorities in life?

I so appreciate your kind words and deep questions. It’s hard to boil down, but I perceive myself as the link in the chain that mends the break. We are all in this together, and I value that connectivity. My priorities are to enjoy life, stay curious and passionate, and do good. And yes, I am vegan and I love dogs.

What are your medium-term plans for your career?

To enjoy myself and be of service.

Which artist would you like to share the stage with?

Lady Gaga and John Legend

Do you have any life mantras to share with us?

As one of my mentors, Maria Brito, said to me, “Don’t quit before the miracle.”
