A classically trained prodigy on violin and piano at age 3, Lourds toured with youth orchestras in concert halls around the world. Eventually, with a sparkly, new electric violin as her main axe, she kicked in the distortion pedal and shredded her way on tours across North America, fronting her rock band, LOURDS and amassing a diehard nation-wide fan base. Lourds Lane is the creator, host, and promoter of the NYC-based Medusa Festival, featuring the best emerging female-fronted bands in the country. She is also the founder of "The SuperYou FUNdation" an arts-based after school program for youth to connect to their most empowered selves. As producer, multi-instrumentalist, and charismatic singer and songstress, Billboard hails, "Lourds breaks the rules while poised to break into the big time!"
