The Standard paper: La Shana Latrice
A US-based musician is harbouring dreams of penetrating the thriving African music industry. Born on April 10, 1993, in Birmingham, England, Lashana Latrice is a singer and songwriter currently residing in Richmond, Virginia. According to the former model and makeup artist, recent forays by African musicians in the international scene prove the industry could only grow bigger. For Lashana, growing up as an only child played a part in her passion for music.
“I have always been independent and certain in the type of person I would like to be when in the limelight. Growing up with no siblings and raised by a single parent, I pretty much kept myself entertained through singing, fashion, dancing, makeup and drawing. Music has always been my first passion since childhood as before I could properly walk, I would hymn melodies and get excited whenever music was played,” she told Standard Entertainment and Lifestyle.
