LANIE J, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, is the oldest of seven siblings. From a young age, she knew that she wanted to entertain her family. All her relatives either worked or went to school. Lanie J tried them all but couldn’t see herself behind a desk for the rest of her life working for someone else. She said to herself , “Lanie J, you have to be your own boss. I experienced a lot in life and writing was my go to thing, my therapy. I love writing whether it was poetry plays novels music I would have journals piling up. I remember having a dream of being on t.v. and moving people’s hearts. Even crazier is that my mother came to me she said she had the same dream. From then on I was determined.” Her brother Lunr Maximus was on a development deal with Roc Nation. Him and his partner Rich Son from Banger Boys /MUSIC Makers would hit Lanie J up and ask her to come to their studio and just write reference for other artist. They would vibe for hours. “I loved it!!! I was writing so much for them that I thought to myself, well I if I can write for others, I can write for myself & put myself out there. My brother sent me a beat asked me to write to it for someone else and when I heard it I knew that I wanted to keep it for me. I wrote to it, recorded it and now my “Single Do About It” is taking off and people are really loving it!
