About Lena Prima:
Lena Prima, the youngest daughter of music legend Louis Prima, is a seasoned singer-songwriter with a deep connection to the music of New Orleans. Born in Las Vegas, she spent much of her childhood in New Orleans, where she now resides and regularly performs. With 8 albums to her name, including a number one iTunes single, and accolades like a top 10 Billboard Jazz Album, Lena has established herself as a talented artist in her own right. Her journey began with her father's music, which she played constantly as a young girl, and her experiences performing with his band from a tender age. After a few years of exploring the rock scene and working day jobs, Lena turned to music as her primary career in the early 2000s, eventually returning to New Orleans and becoming a staple of the city's jazz scene.
