A quick interview with Nikki Lorenzo!

Q. What does 'LISTA' mean and how does it relate to the song?

“LISTA” is the feminine form of the word “ready” in Spanish. In the song I sing, “en la guerra de tu amor, estoy lista” which translates to, “in the war of your love, I’m ready.” The turbulent relationship that the song is about is compared to the kind of war within ourselves as well as the war against each other. It then begs the question, is the love worth the wounds? Are you going to fight or are you going to flee? Are you going to continue the cycle or are you going to break it? Either way, I’m ready.

Q. Tell us a little about yourself.

I’m Cuban-American, originally from Miami. Born in the middle of a hurricane. I fell in love with music, theatre, and poetry when I was a kid and it brought me a lot of joy to entertain people as well as it being such a catharsis. First time I stepped into a recording studio was when I was ten years old. I chose to use that session to record me singing, “I Keep on Falling” by Alicia Keys, which I think, looking back, is a bold choice for a ten year old. I moved around a lot and then ended up in Los Angeles- playing gigs all over the sunset strip like my idols before me, starry-eyed. At one point, I was the lead singer in a jazz band for a bit during the week and then I’d sing rock and roll on the weekends because who doesn’t love to use all the colors in their box of crayons? Now, I like to incorporate all the things I’m passionate about into the art I create: cinema, poetry, movement. Especially when it comes to my music.

Q. What do you want people to know about you?

I’ll be releasing more music this year as well as performing soon!
