“a pop music experiment”
Ronya-Lee LaVaune Anderson of Ronya-Lee and the Light Factory is a Caribbean-American folk-soul singer-songwriter from Washington, DC. Born from Jamaican immigrants, she credits Saturday night house parties, Sunday morning church services and afternoon singalongs at the piano with fostering her love of music. While garnering a Master's of Divinity from Duke University and an MFA in Dance from Maryland University, Ronya-Lee continued writing, singing, recording and performing. Ronya-Lee and the Light Factory names a commitment to creating layered performance experiences that include original music, dance, film and fashion. The ukulele-playing fem-crooners' musical stylings are of a unique species fusing folk, soul, and rock with underlying strokes of psychedelia dazzlingly displayed on her forthcoming EP "THE LIGHT SESSIONS pt.1" and highlighted by her first single "Light". Reinforced by her enchanting, sultry soprano and well-crafted lyricism, Ronya-Lee skillfully maneuvers between genres to create an exclusive and remarkable blend of pop music.
