OFFICIAL RELEASES

Chicago-born, LA-based L3NA delivers Bad Reaction, an EP that refuses to stay in one lane. She drags you from infectious indie dance into funky hard grooves, then straight into dark techno territory before closing with emotionally-charged melodic moments that hit harder than expected. Throughout it all, L3NAs vocals are fiery, confident, and decidedly not for the faint-hearted. This is soundtrack music for your villain arc: unpredictable, unapologetic, and guaranteed to cause chemical reactions on the dance floor. Consider yourself warned.

L3NA QWERKS!
1. When did you start making music?
I started drafting melodies on the piano when I was five, and when I was like 12, I started writing emo lyrics that I thought were super deep to accompany those little ballads. At the end of 2023, I decided to enroll into Cosmic Academy and give it all a go again, and I think I made the right decision.

2. What makes YOU qwerky?
I'm obsessed with the idea of quests to the point where to get through boring things, I need to envision that I'm on a quest or playing a game, and my win will be presented to the leader, or else it isn't getting done. Struggles of ADHD.

3. If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?
Shego, Raven from teen titans, or any dark sexy bitch

4. What’s your favorite sound?
the sound of a microwave when it's done with the food I'm reheating at 3 am

5. You’re making dinner at your house… what’s on the menu?
Hot pot, complete with beef tendon meatballs, potato noodles, and sake for those who partake.

6. Who are 3 people you’d invite? (from any time period)
The father son and holy ghost so I can convince them to let me in

Lido Leks QWERKS!
1. When did you start making music? 
I grew up in a very creative family. My mom sings, my uncle was a poet, I have cousins and aunts that write music and perform. I always looked up to them And so I was a writer ever since I was little. I love slam poetry and it wasn’t until I’m met my husband where I truly started making music. I always would write random stuff for myself ever since 2017 but never really shared it with anyone except my friend that raps and Tristan. I got voice memos and notes of lyrics, but I didn’t really create my first song until 2022. 

2. What makes YOU qwerky?
The thing that makes me Qwerky.. Is that I am unapologetically myself! I truly am a weirdo, Because I don’t like to follow the norm. My normal is someone else’s different. I like to communicate with random noises and sounds, dance my way through life, and collect tiny knickknacks. It's a kind of weird that makes you feel seen though. 

3. If you were a cartoon character, who would you be? 
People tell me all the time that I remind them of SpongeBob SquarePants, probably just because of my vibrant personality and hyena style laugh lol I love that he truly is just his little sponge self and spreads good vibes everywhere he goes. 

4. What's your favorite sound?
I love drums, bangos, congas, anything with a good bass. Afrobeats / dance hall! My go to! 

5. You're making dinner at your house... what's on the menu? 
Ooo either Greek or Italian but Not gonna lie I make some good homemade pasta sauce for a gluten-free light sodium recipe, Italian pasta dinner. Maybe some veggie medley on the side. You can never go wrong with a good turkey meat sauce! 

6. Who are 3 people you'd invite?
My Husband, My Dog, Myself lol joking - honestly I’d invite any one of my Good Vibe Tribe homies or my best friends Alyssa, Chantel, or Emma <3 or like if I could chose anyone probably Doja Cat, QVEEN Herby, and Troyboi hahaha
