Her first studio recording collaboration was on the upbeat track “Rendezvous” by D-Bibbs ft. Lana J. This was followed by her debut single “Warning\,” which showcased her unique style and artistry. In April 2022\, Lana J. released her debut project titled “Breathe\,” a soothing and soulful reminder to take a moment for self-care a reenforced theme within her journey as an artist and human\, shedding light on mental health awareness and self discovery. \nShe also collaborated with classmate and producer/artsit Soto on the funky and psychedelic track “SexFruit\,” which originated from her time at Loyola University. As Lana J.’s career progressed\, she delved deeper into her thoughts and aspirations in the studio\, exploring vocal production\, songwriting\, and recording techniques. This year marks the beginning of a creative renaissance for Lana J. as she prepares to release her next project\, including the single “Take it Slow” and an EP scheduled for Summer 2024.
