Hey there Peeps!
I know it's been a minute since I've checked in with ya'll on the blog. I've been busy working on new music and new moves...here are a few of them:
-Firstly, please check out this up-coming production I'm starring in called "Law & Disorder": http://www.facebook.com/lawanddisorder .. also make sure you "LIKE" the group if you haven't already. OH and if you're in the area or want to come through to check it out, please let me know. I got all the ticket info!! :-)
But here's what's hood:
-I've been working on new music with new producers in France from the Sound Factory and that music will be released this year .. we are aiming for the Summer so stay tuned!! :-)
-I have a new website coming soon with new promo pics so you know I'll keep you posted on that! I did an AWESOME photo-shoot with a photographer out of Philly by the name of Larry Wright. His company is called EWW Creative Solutions. He really helped to bring out that "urban-retro" vibe I was looking for. And you can check out more of his work here: www.ewwcs.com
-I started a Ustream series called "Somewhere In LeiRowLand" and will be doing this once a month. This will keep everyone updated on what I'm doing with my musical life and some of my personal life. So far, the small crowd I've developed has been wonderful!! Here is the link to that to view two of my shows so far and join my crowd: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/somewhere-in-leirowland
There are many other things I'm planning and wish to get involved with, including show and promo opportunities!! I'm still so very excited and motivated about 2011 and yes, it's definitely a lot of work.
OH and I'm always open to collaborating with other artists, producers, writers, film-makers, etc.
So, I will be in touch again with updates and to say HEY of course!!
In the meantime, ya'll stay on ya'll grinds as well and keep rising to the top..GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT! :-)
Peace & Blessings,
Lei

Lei Row: The "Urban Retro" Chick...
So as I googled the term "urban retro," I was quite pleased to find that "Lei Row" images and links come up in the listings. But I came across something even cooler!! A fan of mine defined the term "urban retro" on UrbanDictionary.com.
It says:
1. Urban Retro
"Lei Row's music is urban retro."
"Eclectic, edgy, sultry, and creative, Lei Row’s unique melodic-soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics flow together so well in her music. Her natural sound and arrangements will capture your attention from beginning to end in each song. With an urban retro look, style, sound, and grace: "Lei Row presents Euphoria" proves that she brings all of that..PLUS..a euphoric sound in music! (www.reverbnation.com/Leirow)"
Here's the link to view it more: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=urban+retro

Through the years, Lei Row has performed and sang back-up in different concerts, musical plays, weddings, and talent showcases. Back in 2006, Lei Row would perform in the Wednesday Night showcases at the renowned Philadelphia Old City music and dance club “Five Spot.” Lei Row and the live house band rocked out together, keeping the crowd moving!

Since then, she has worked with several artists, writers, and producers in New York City, Miami, the DC-Maryland-Virginia area, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Philadelphia: writing, singing, producing, and performing.

Although R&B, Gospel, and Pop are her musical backbones, she is versatile and does not confine her taste or projects to one genre…hip-hop, jazz, rock, country, classical, opera, reggae, latin, electronic: she studies, loves, embraces, and incorporates it all.
