About Latanya Farrell

Latanya Farrell is a gifted singer, songwriter and performer who moves audiences with passion, energy and a love for music and life! Her award winning vocal talent and style has influences from Natalie Cole to Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin to Ella Fitzgerald.

Latanya's career took a leap forward after she was crowned Champion of the 2003 Connecticut Star Search competition. Following that, she spent time in studios around the country learning the music business, and developing her writing style.

In 2008, Latanya releases her debut CD Feelin' Alright. This thoroughly soulful blend has something for everyone...from the deeply personal "The Very Best", to the urban-edged "Now That I Have You", or the emotional ballad "So Fortunate"...this CD is sure to make it to the top of any playlist.In her lyrics, Latanya reveals her secrets for capturing real-life moments and making them the best they can be!

Her versatile repertoire includes solo performances singing the National Anthem, her original music or other vocal favorites. As her first love, this type of performance allows her to connect with audiences and share a bit of her gift with them as an individual artist/performer. With her home grown group of musicians, The Bookman Styles Band, Latanya emerges as a band-leader full of energy with a unique gift of engaging audiences with her bright smile and impeccable style. Blending Latanya's original music with highly popular cover tunes, they play to packed houses in venues throughout the New England area. Their presence is infectious and keeps the energy flowing throughout the performance with music that ranges from classic to contemporary.
