The 35 Year Gap! Alana’s Journey Back to Music.
Meet Alana, a singer-songwriter with an inspiring story of love, loss, and resilience. Alana stepped away from music 35 years ago. Bad contracts, greedy management and an exploitative record label left her heartbroken and disillusioned with the music industry. During her hiatus, Alana explored various paths, seeking fulfillment in different areas of life. Yet, the music within her soul never truly died. After decades of personal and spiritual growth, Alana found the courage to revisit her musical roots. With a newfound sense of self-assurance and a deeper understanding of her artistry, she emerged from her hiatus ready to embrace her musical journey once again. Returning to the studio, Alana has poured her life experiences and emotions into her songwriting, crafting melodies that reflect the wisdom and maturity she gained during her time away. Her lyrics now carry the weight of life experience and vulnerability, that reflect the universal truths of love, loss, and resilience. Alana’s 35 year gap and journey back to music serves as a reminder that it's never too late to reclaim one's passion and embrace the creative spark that sets the soul on fire. “Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them”. ~ Louis Armstrong —-------------------------------------------------------------
