Lois Mahalia + Musician in Santa Barbara, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Please note:
- I'm looking for Jazz guitarist and / or Jazz keyboard player to play - SB, Ventura, and some LA for now.
- I'm open to doing vocal recording sessions - Lead, Background & Harmonies

- I'm only looking to work with people who are serious about their music and where they want to go with it. If learning songs, being on time, being prepared and being responsive isn't part of what's important to you musically, we are likely not a good fit.

Bio:
Vocalist, recording artist, performer and songwriter, Lois Mahalia, had her first big song, an original called: Smile on be, with over 1.6 million hits. She's gone on to perform, record, and tour with artists such as Kenny Loggins, Joe Sample, Norman Gimble, and most recently Joe Walsh. Performances included TV shows Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America and Crossroads on the Country Music Channel, stadiums, theaters and small clubs. She loves what she does and the venue means less than the music.

Her South American roots and years of performing from Gospel as a kid, to Reggae, to R&B, Pop, dance and Jazz have given her an appreciation and range of styles that allow her to call on any as the moment calls.

She is currently working on her own Jazz lineup, doing originals, standards re-imagined and not so standard songs morphed into a Jazz style.
