MEET LANA-MAY
Born and raised in London, Lana-May always knew when growing up that her life would revolve around playing music, performance and creativity. In 2011, she started her career in the Royal Marines Band Service as a professional musician. Having served for almost 10 years, Lana has performed at many of the UK’s most prestigious venues and high profile events including the Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace, and The Royal Festival of Remembrance.
Lana specializes in swing, blues, and hot jazz clarinet, all influenced by her love of golden-era jazz from early 20th century and all things vintage. She has also performed with some of the biggest names in Gypsy Jazz such as Paulus Schafer, Christiaan van Hemert and Robin Nolan, as well as often being invited to guest alongside the highest calibre singers in U.K. Jazz and Swing – such as The Puppini Sisters in November 2022.
