Larissa Lam's voice has been described as powerful, soulful and passionate. Her music reflects various influences from rock to jazz and a closer look at her music reveals carefully constructed lyrics and melody. Citing influences from Stevie Wonder to Pat Benetar to Ella Fitzgerald to Sting, Larissa is the first person to admit that her music transcends restrictive genres. "I have very diverse musical tastes and I think it shows in my own music. What really matters is whether or not I can present a good song. If it's a good song, people will listen."
Larissa recently completed work on her first solo album, On the Way Up, having spent all of 2000 collaborating with producer Jarrett Michaels. Michaels has worked with an array of artists such as Brandy, George Clinton and Ice Cube, The resulting product is a compilation of 13 original songs centered on the theme of relationships. Larissa explains, "If you think about it, life is basically a series of relationships. I wanted to write about the relationships that were most important to me: friends, family, God and even strangers. Everyone has relationships in their lives and hopefully people will identify with at least one of the songs on the album."
Larissa has built a unique resume in the industry that includes being Chief Financial Officer of an independent label. Larissa's experience and knowledge of the music business led to her decision to start her own independent label, LOG Records. She has released the album, On the Way Up, independently through LOG Records in order to facilitate a more "grass-roots" strategy. Larissa recognizes that a long-lasting career is dependent on fans who grow to care about an artist's development. "I'm trying to build a relationship with my audience and not just entertain them. I'm a very enthusiastic and positive person. I hope that rubs off on the fans."
