Raised by a single mother and “independent by default,” Lolene is a native |of Bristol, England where she grew up mastering tap, jazz dance, and |ballet before discovering, as a teen, that music was her true calling. Lolene began writing songs and singing backing vocals for trip-hop artist |Martina Topley-Bird and local drum and bass pioneer Roni Size. After |completing school, she moved to London and fronted a short-lived girl |group. With a knack for writing melodies and lyrics, she wrote all the |group’s material and signed to a development deal at BMG Records. Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a demo CD, she moved to |Hollywood in search of her big break. She was quickly discovered by multi- |platinum producer Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem who signed her to his publishing |label Beluga Heights/Sony ATV. She went to work as a songwriter, |collaborating with such heavy-hitters as Andreas Carlsson, Christopher |Rojas, Makeba Riddick , Evan Bogart, Danja, Harvey Mason Jr., and |Christina Milian, for whom Lolene penned the single “Diamonds” featuring |Kanye West. “Sexy People” is the delicious first track and video from her highly |anticipated debut album The Electrick Hotel, set to be released on |Capitol/EMI Records early 2010. Believe the hype bitches! |
