L.A.(Lorraine Barry) Moves To A Different Beat

Written by 

While known for her jazz background, L.A. Mitchell’s love of innovation sees her constantly exploring new ways of recording and performing her songs.

For the second of her collaborative EPs she worked with Wellington DJ/Producer D:UNK (George Duncan) to combine his digital funk with her mighty soul vocals.


" I hope the finished EP conveys how exciting it was to build this. Each track was a really delightful exploration into layering and processing vocals and synths. I’ve used the voice as an instrument to create often very non-voice-like textures to compliment George’s beats and define the sometimes gritty emotion of the songs”, explains L.A.

The Concept EP #2 is released on Oct 31. The opening track ‘You Know Now’ will feature in L.A.’s performance during the new Fly My Pretties 4 tour.

L.A. Mitchell has opened for both Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie. She has performed for Bic Runga, Tim Finn, Guy Sebastian(AUS), and the Urban Soul Orchestra (U.K) and is a regular member of Dave Dobbyn’s band.

She juggles her solo career with her rock-chick-alter-ego as a member of Dukes who supported rock legends Blondie and Pretenders and had a top 10 hit single with ‘Vampires’. Her EP #1 with Producer Isaac Aesilli followed on from two self-produced albums.
