Her music is electric - a retro new wave fusion of Detroit Techno and 80's glam.
Lulu's dance tracks are driven by a sensual energy that demands you to have as much fun moving to it as she has performing it. She mocks you with her exuberance.
Lulu Dahl tastes eclectic.
Born and raised in the shadow of Motown, Lulu can't remember a time that she wasn't painting pictures with her voice. Whether it was singing in her Catholic school choir or on Sundays at her great Granny's Baptist church, her experiences infused her with a spectrum of emotion that deeply shaped and influenced her sound, voice and musical ear.
Lulu Dahl was born to perform.
The child of a hippie, print model, jazz-loving, PhD mother and a professional-dancer, attorney father, Lulu Dahl was baptized by disco and the arts. Her Dance Fever award winning parents inspired in her a keen appreciation for performance and an innate sense of individuality and free-spiritedness.
Lulu plays with herself.
"I would be the only kid on the block playing outside and wearing a petticoat and dirty cable stockings with holes in them," said Lulu. "I used to play dress up a lot. I loved my Momma's and great Granny's extravagant clothes, accessories and makeup. If I wasn't playing with Barbie, reading, or writing stories, I was watching every American classic movie that came on TV. I used to dance and twirl around the house during the movie musicals starring Gene Kelly, Lena Horne, Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller and Barbara Streisand. I was a kid who was obsessed with Vivien Leigh, Diahann Carroll, Elizabeth Taylor, Dorothy Dandridge and Marilyn Monroe. My Momma would hold me in her arms and dance to Grace Jones, Culture Club and Prince. At the same time, I was exposed at an early age to the energy of Detroit techno. My uncle's work with the Underground Resistance inspired in me the desire to produce a sound that was at once soul
and machine. It drove me to want to make music that would feel dynamic and sensual - a hybrid of the past and the future."
Lulu honed her dance, vocal and performance skills as a member of the girl group Velocity, while writing and recording her own music in her spare time. She then discovered her performing groove as the lead singer for the local ensemble Road Work which culminated in a nomination for the 2008 Detroit Music Award for "Best Funk Vocalist."
All the while, she was sculpting her own sound and evolving as a songwriter, producer and recording artist.

With her smooth and silky vocals over her fun and quirky tracks , Lulu shines on dance mixes "DJ" and "Hot Phase", "Voyeur" and "My Girls", her sound pulsating with the memory of a time when disco dancing was pleasure and music provoked in an audience the electricity of a sensual seduction.

What does it feel like to sing with angels in an electromagnetic choir while disco dancing in a supernova of love?
