Lael Summer is an expressive and sultry singer-songwriter fresh on the music scene. Born and raised in NYC, Lael’s love of music was apparent early on. By the age of 2 she could sing every song from the Sound of Music; by age 10 she was in vocal training and performed her first showcase, where she brought the entire audience to tears with her rendition of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Beautiful.’ At 14, she opened for Jon Anderson of Yes at B.B. King’s singing Cat Steven’s ‘Peace Train.’
Lael graduated from The University of Southern California’s elite Popular Music program in May 2014.  In her freshman year she opened for Gary Sinise’s Lt. Dan Band with a smoldering version of Sly’s ‘Thank You’ and Joplin’s ‘Piece of My Heart.’

Lael released her acclaimed debut album, Burden to Bear, in January 2014. It was produced by Global Soul pioneer, Tomás Doncker, and came out on his True Groove Independent Music Label. Lael’s distinct and powerful voice as a songwriter unifies the stylistically eclectic 12-track record, which dabbles in rock, R&B, soul, and even some bossa nova. 

She is currently finishing up recording her sophomore release, "Life in Color", scheduled for a February 2015 release. She is a vital and vibrant member of the The True Groove All-Stars where her vocals were featured on their cover of Curtis Mayfield's classic "We're A Winner". Her smoldering vocals are also featured on "Dream Machine" from the upcoming "New Wave Opera" "3 Astronauts"(this project is being produced by Ardea Arts).

Lael also performed in Tomás Doncker‘s show, Power of the Trinity, a multi-media extravaganza about the life of Haile Selassie, as part of NYC’s 2012 Summerstage Concert Series.

Lael’s cover of the Hall and Oate’s tune, ‘Do What You Want, Be What You Are’ was picked as the buzz track to watch out for by the Kings ofA&R and EarMilk.com.
