A native New Yorker, bassist, vocalist, composer, and arranger Lana Fusco has been exposed to jazz from inception. Raised by her jazz guitarist father, she’s been humming Bird for as long as she can remember. Lana began her formal musical journey at the age of five, studying rhythm, before picking up the guitar and later embracing the upright bass at eight. Decidedly old-school, she is a bassist with traditionalist roots, with an unwavering commitment to a harmonic richness and a deep pocket.
Earning her Bachelor of Music (BM) in Jazz from NYU Steinhardt, Lana has had the opportunity to study under renowned bassists Drew Gress, Mike Richmond, and Dezron Douglas, as well as taken lessons with Nat Reeves. Her compositions and arrangements have been featured in performance alongside Alan Ferber, Tony Moreno, Brandon Lee, Billy Drewes, Dion Tucker, and Brad Shepik. Lana has also studied voice throughout her college career with vocalist and educator Laura Kay.
