Lana Lane
Lana Lane (* in Concord , California ) is an American rock singer from Santa Rosa , California. She works in the band named after her and contributes to the background vocals in the group Rocket Scientists . She also masters guitar and piano. Lana Lane also sings as a guest on Ambeon , Ayreon and on the solo albums of her husband, the musician and producer Erik Norlander , who also produces her albums. The couple own their own record label, Think Tank Media, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles .
Lana grew up in a very musical family, with rock music and big band swing , and so she started singing in bands right after high school. To further her career, she moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s , where she met her future husband.
Lana Lane's first albums were particularly successful in Japan. It was only with the third that it was able to establish itself elsewhere, initially in Europe. The style of the music changes from album to album. Most of the time, calm rock or power ballads written by Lana dominate . Cover versions of well-known titles are very often presented, the albums Cover Collection (2003) and Gemini (2006) even exclusively contain interpretations of well-known titles. In recent years the style has generally gotten a bit tougher and has moved towards symphonic rock , symphonic metal and progressive metal .
