Produced By a Girl is ecstatic to announce Diamonds and Whiskey Founding Member Jennifer Lauren is joining PBG podcast! She is a Country Music ⭐️Star!!!

Bio:💫

Soaring vocals… stellar musicianship… abundant energy… crowd resonance… Diamonds and Whiskey is a combination of barroom beauty and backwoods danger, beauty queen and hell raiser alike, and the award winning country rock act out of Charlotte, North Carolina, brings it all to the table. Founding member, Jennifer Lauren, leads the way with strength and soul in her voice, delivering her songwriting prowess in a way that embeds her lyrics in the hearts of the audience.

​North Carolina native Jennifer Lauren is a multi-talented musician, vocalist, and songwriter with a drive and passion for music like no other. Starting with piano at age 4 and discovering her vocal abilities at age 8, she began her early days exploring traditional hymns and receiving classical training as a first soprano. With her enchanting voice and eloquence on keys, her prowess as a songwriter began to manifest itself in 2014. Taking influences from a multitude of artists and genres, such as Dolly Parton, Heart, Tori Amos, Rob Thomas, and even Eminem, she has cultivated a sound and style that is as unique and refreshing as the woman herself. It is her story-telling that sets her and the music apart. The lyrics are earned, as her story is one of heartache, strength, and overcoming all obstacles. She is the driving force behind Diamonds and Whiskey.

​Diamonds and Whiskey’s album Heartbreak Queen, produced by award-winning Dale Penner(Nickelback), is making big strides across the globe with airplay in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Scandinavia, Canada and the United States. It has received rave reviews from media outlets called the best rocking country album of the year by Nashville Music Guide. “Hands Down” garnered the 2019 Carolina Country Music Awards Single of the Year honor and debuted at #11 on VRadio Nashville, while “Muddy Water”, reached #1 on the Euro ACM chart. “Sugarstick”, the band’s first summer release, is currently in the top 20 on the Euro ACM chart and is continuing to climb.

Read her bio below and Thank you Amber! So honored to have you at the PBG fam!

Australian singer and songwriter Amber Claire, has been singing since a very young age, starting with Madonna being her very first musical inspiration. Later on, after hearing Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for the first time, she knew she wanted to spend her life singing and inspiring others with her voice and songwriting. After leaving for the bright lights of LA in 2001, she hasn’t looked back since and 19 years later, she recently had the chance to work with one of Mariah and Whitney’s producers, Narada Michael Walden. Her song ‘Nothing Can Break This Love’, released last year, was co-written by Amber and recorded at Tarpan Studios in San Rafael, California and gives off a 90’s vibe with a modern sound. Her next song 'Get Back Up' also produced by Narada Michael Walden is set for a June 26th release. “I wanted to bring back meaningful lyrics about love and life and inspire others to believe in what makes music so touching again. I feel we need to bring back what makes us all feel a certain way, the way the greats over the years and their music has made us feel. I hope people will feel the same, when they hear my music” –Amber

Originally from the Bay Area, Nicole has been singing since the 1st grade and grew up singing in choir and rock bands all the way through her senior year of high school. Coming from a musically gifted family where her grandfather was a concert pianist and great grandmother was a Russian opera singer, there was music in her blood. Her main influences as a child ranged from orchestral and operatic music to punk rock and heavy metal. She started playing piano and electric guitar when she was in middle school, but then realized singing was what she truly loved. She enrolled in an opera institute and started to attend opera school and high school simultaneously. She held multiple recitals and performances while in Opera School, and auditioned for scholarships at many schools in Southern California, where she knew she wanted to be to pursue her love for music.

In 2005 she moved to Southern California on a vocal scholarship and attended California State Long Beach for 2 years before realizing as much as she loved opera, she wanted to focus more on contemporary vocal styles such as punk rock, hard rock & metal. She then moved to Hollywood to attend Musicians Institute where she studied vocal performance and music business. She graduated in 2009 and immediately was the front woman in a symphonic metal band “Tortured Souls”, a studio singer, and rock vocal instructor for a music school called Rock Nation. With her symphonic metal band, they won numerous film festival awards such as Best Music Video and Best Song of the Year. Nicole was teaching music lessons at Rock’ n’ Roll Summer camps, different music schools in LA, and gigging with her original band as well as working hired sessions. Nicole worked for indie record labels such as The Militia Group and SideCho Records, and also was freelancing at local music venues to get familiar with live production and network with other industry professionals.

Over the last 15 years while living in LA, she has fronted multiple original bands and cover/tribute bands such as her current band The Flannels. She has performed in venues all around LA such as the Canyon Club, The Whisky, The Viper Room, The Standing Room, Chain Reaction, House Of Blues, The Roxy, Lucky Strike, The Satellite, and had the opportunity to play shows all around the country sharing stages with some amazing musicians. Nicole brands herself as a hard rock/metal singer with wailing powerful vocals that have made her a force to be reckoned with as a female hard rock singer and screamer. Her main vocal influences are Bruce Dickenson (Iron Maiden), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Maria Brink (In This Moment), Floor Jansen (Nightwish), & Marc Hudson (Dragonforce).

“I love being able to combine my operatic and classical training with my passion and love for punk rock, heavy metal, and power metal. When you need to belt super high notes with breath control and stamina, I thank all that intense training and can conquer songs with ease. I find it also extremely important to keep up with ear training, when I go into the studio I am able to read music and make up multi-part harmonies on the spot it makes me invaluable and builds my clientele. Having that foundation has really helped me produce some amazing work.”

Currently, she is focusing on a handful of collaborations and projects with different musicians and producers from all over the country and overseas to create videos and write music for TV/movie scores and rock projects. She continues to get hired for studio sessions and front different bands and projects in the Hollywood & LA area. She is focusing on managing and fronting her band The Flannels as well as fronting a new rock mashup project, The WikiBeatz.

Such an honor to talk with Lial this morning on PBG Podcast! She’s an incredible artist and a rising🌟!

Bio:

British frontwoman follows in the footsteps of Låpsley with this smooth and brooding alt-pop release.” – Mystic Sons “Lial’s sound could best be described as dark pop; her breathy vocals standing out as a real draw of her music.” – Euphoria magazine “London based electronic-pop artist Lial is giving the modern music scene a dose of the dark side,

and creating something beautiful.” – Guestlist Network

LIAL RELEASES DARK ELECTRONIC-POP GEM DIRTY LITTLE LIES (OUT 17th APRIL)

& ANNOUNCES NEW MADE TO BREAK EP (12TH JUNE)

Dirty Little Lies is the second single, following the shimmering Embers (February 2020), to be released from Lial’s forthcoming Made To Break EP which follows on 12th June.

Lial is a new London artist taking cues from the likes of Låpsley and creating hypnotic, dark and minimal electronic soundscapes, with the subtly pulsating layers of new single Dirty Little Lies touching on trip-hop influences but infused with a big pop sensibility. Lial’s vocals, which have been likened to “a mix of Kyle and Billie Ray Martin,” offer up a kind of seductive melancholy that also recalls the brooding heart torn delivery of Lana Del Rey.

Dirty Little Lies is a song about betrayal, and the thrill of desire for forbidden fruit. As Lial expands: “Connection is an inherent part of being human and so you do anything you can to justify it while you’re in it, but part of the appeal is its forbidden nature. Lies are enough in themselves to create a spark.” Dirty Little Lies is accompanied by a stunning video which takes you to a seedy, ghostly underworld, featuring Lial and directed by Wolf James. Expanding on the song’s themes the video explores the idea of betrayal as its own faceless entity seeking some sort external validation.

Lial has previously released the Heart Scars EP (2019), music from which appeared on UK and international blogs with an early word-of-mouth buzz generating over 68k Spotify plays for the EP tracks.

Dirty Little Lies is released as a digital single on 17th April, with Lial’s Made To Break EP following on 12th June.

Thrilled to be chatting with Rrema Echo on Produced by a Girl Podcast today! She’s a soulful singer and definitely a star on the rise. Read her bio below and stay tuned for her podcast!

www.rremaechoes.com

Originally hailing from the streets of north London, singing in the same musical circles as songstress Adele & Amy Winehouse. Self-taught singer, songwriter RRema Echo’s vocal prowess has been heavily influenced from growing up in the church, listening to and learning from power divas like Mary J Blige, Aretha Franklin and Faith Evans to name just a few. Her passion for song writing is exhibited and stamped all over her debut EP D.I.T.R which is set to be released in the new year.

RRema Echo pays homage to the naughty 90’s, with her second single “You Don’t Know”, from forthcoming EP, the track features talented underground hackney rapper Hypah. RRema’s remix of RnB supergroup Total’s hit song “Can’t You See”, is already showing signs of becoming a banger with positive feedback from industry insiders, loving the soulful tunes, mix of throwback and future flows blended into one.

I'm currently finishing writing my EP, named D.I.T.R. because I've been described as a diamond in the rough by my peers. My EP encompases my sassy melodies, old skool meets new skool writing style, strong melodic vocals & everyday stories wrapped up in to one. I've written, recorded & co-directed the videos for my projects, including "Forget You Know Me" (https://youtu.be/-ZPzIFSKRCc) which sings about a relationship at the point of no return. The Live Studio Sessions (https://youtu.be/ruttehi40GI) featuring live recordings of "Fly Away", "See in me" & "Forget You Know Me". #producedbyagirl
