Lara Landon
A California native, singer/songwriter Lara Landon moved to Nashville in her late teens, where she studied music at Belmont
University's acclaimed School of Music. Upon graduation, the songstress signed with newly formed Nashville-based label Bema Media,
launched by industry veteran and Essential Records founder Robert Beeson. She released her national debut project, Beloved, in
September of 2009 to critical and commercial success. The project featured an all-star line-up, including production by GRAMMY
Award-winning talent Michael Omartian (Amy Grant, Chicago, Rod Stewart, The Jackson’s, Whitney Houston) and co-writes with
Omartian, five-time SESAC Christian music Songwriter of the Year Jason Ingram as well as Dove Award-winning artist Plumb, among
others. Beloved turned out the popular radio single "Closer," which was No. 1 on the Family Life Radio network, and afforded Landon
touring opportunities across the country.
In addition to her music ministry, Landon serves as co-founder of non-profit organization New Reality International, which seeks to
provide physical, emotional and spiritual healing to those suffering from extreme poverty, disease and injustice worldwide
(www.newrealityinternational.org). She is also a featured speaker and artist for KINDLE, a special Christian music and leadership
experience that inspires women from every generation to come together to celebrate their talents, prepare for service and faithfully live
out The Great Commission.
Landon's latest project is sophomore studio record Overcome, to release May 1, 2012. Co-produced by Landon, in cooperation with
Mitch Dane (Jars of Clay), Steve Wilson (Josh Wilson, Johnny Diaz) and Brian Hitt (MIKESCHAIR) on select tracks, Overcome
showcases an eclectic yet cohesive pallet of lush arrangements and melodic, piano-driven pop, venturing into the folk realm but
ultimately more reminiscent of fellow female innovators Imogen Heap, Plumb and Kate Bush.
Love, peace and blessings, Lara
