At age 28, Lalana founded the Vocal Workout Singing School in New York City's downtown SoHo, and a unique approach to her growth as an educator and facilitator of gospel singing was born. Her influences spread to pop and funk and punk, as her students exposed her to realms of musical topics beyond her own personal experience.

Today, Lalana thrives as owner and teacher at New York City's most appreciated and growing vocal facility, The Vocal Workout Singing School, employing a cadre of world class teachers. She went on to tour the world and as a vocal founder of a classical jazz quintet, sang supporting vocals for Barry White, Patti LaBelle, D'Angelo, Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer, Norman Brown, Rafael Martos and many others. Lalana's voice artistically draws an audience with it's powerful, well crafted sound, but she loves most the belief in her ideals upon which she helps others to achieve their best and most acclaimed 'me singing' sound.
