Known for her charisma and dynamism as a player, as a composer she has an inimitable skill of fusing traditional conceptions of jazz, hiphop and soul.

Speaking about her newest album PHOENIX (released January 2023 on Whirlwind Records) Lakecia says:

“This album is a bit of a rebirth for me; it continues the inter-generational legacy work I’ve been doing in the past by featuring guests that have inspired me musically, spiritually and as a human being. I am painting the picture of reinventing and recreating oneself from ‘the ashes’, so to speak, although this time using my own compositions as the vehicle. I am excited to be starting a new journey and partnering with Whirlwind Recordings to introduce this album to the world.”

Opening Act: Montuno West ft Toto Berriel

Montuno West boasts an exciting and infectious sound strongly influenced by jazz, Cuban and other Latin styles. Expect a true blend of traditional and modern approaches along with the distinctive sound of traditional Afro-Cuban percussionist and vocalist from special guest Israel “Toto” Berriel (Vancouver/Cuba).
