My Name is Sherlana a.k.a Lana a.k.a Lanakins. Like my Name, I am unique and that is how I would describe myself as an Recording Artist, Songwriter and Actress. I was born in Guyana but grown and raised in Canada where I learned French as a second language. My Debut Single Entitled “Hooked” provides a hint of my linguistic skills as the introduction is in French although the song itself is sung in English. My style as an artist is unique because I put my heart, soul and personal touch to any project I do. My music is best described as a collection of my own personal experiences and opinions as well as the stories of those closest to me.
