Lana Releases Debut Album
Upper Sixth鈥檚 very own Lana has officially stepped into the spotlight with the release of her debut album,聽In the Quiet.
Recorded over the October half-term 2024 at Sunset Recording Studios in Stellenbosch, South Africa, the project features collaborations with a host of talented local musicians. Lana鈥檚 songwriting journey began years ago, with every track on the album penned between the ages of 11 and 16. Drawing from remarkably mature observations during her childhood, she pairs soulful vocals with honest, heart-tugging lyrics.
Her talent didn’t go unnoticed. Producer Mel Botes signed Lana to his label, AfriMuse, with distribution agreement with The Orchard (a subsidiary of Sony Music). Joining a roster that includes superstars like Bad Bunny and Kelsea Ballerini is a massive achievement for any independent artist.
As Lana prepares to study Music at university this September, we couldn鈥檛 be prouder. You can find her music on all major streaming platforms under the name Lana Tupwood.
This is only the beginning for Lana – go give her a listen! Watch out for album 2, which will showcase the songs she鈥檚 written during sixth form – coming soon!
