Originality and ingenuity is frowned upon while commercialism is mass-produced to meet the capitalist market values. But it is time to take back our own identities and be of service to others by staying in our lanes. When you spend more time working on building up yourself, you have less time to tear down others.

When you do what you feel in your heart is right as opposed to doing what everyone else wants you to do, that is giving. And if they stomp out your balloon, keep your heart set on a flock of new ones to sail you to greater heights that you never imagined you could go! Be the love you were made from. Be of service to yourself and people. Be original. Be Distinguished. Much love! LiLi P. LR: Good. LR: Detroit, Michigan.

All day, everyday. ECG: At what age did you decide to pursue your career in the entertainment industry? Is this what you always wanted to do?

I started off with an ability to sing at a very, very young age. My dad always tells the story of when I was younger and my dad was in the basement rehearsing with his band, I grabbed the microphone and started singing. This was even before I could talk.

Music kinda chose me I guess and for the lonnngest time, I denied it. When I was in college, I had decided that I wanted to be an architect. She ended up singing background and I was the headliner for that night. In Columbus Ohio, I will never forget it. I still have a parking ticket for that night.

I actually have it framed along with a lot of other stuff. That was when the light went off. ECG: What was the first song that you can remember singing, the first whole song? LR: The first one I remember singing??? ECG: Your audition song, the one the family always wanted you to get up and perform in front of everyone, and you knew you had it.

It was And the way that I learned the song was from memory, from watching it and I had this little book that had the lyrics in it. Honestly, to this day Sesame Street is one of my favorite shows.

ECG: Like a lot of singers, did you begin singing in church? LR: No. Actually I started singing at home. I did go that route. This was like when I was in middle school. And in high school a lot of the plays would be spiritually based, so I kinda stepped in that era. My family was kinda weird in a way, because my mom was Catholic and my dad practiced, and still practices Yahwehism. So my religious background is a little bit different whereas most kids have parents who are both either Baptist or Jewish or whatever.

So to make a long story short, my parents had different religions. I had an opportunity to get a taste of different styles, and make a choice for myself. How do you view yourself? LR: How do I view myself? Well, I do have a lot of different layers. Being an artist I think it makes you predisposed more than I guess other people, to the internal life.

Who wants to be seen, who wants to mingle and talk to people and all of that stuff. Lori is a lot more reserved, shy and extremely detail oriented. ECG: So like a lot of others, including myself, do you feel misunderstood for the most part? LR: You know what — all the time. I think most artists kinda feel that way. LR: And at the same time the best art comes out of it.

I mean, look at Prince, and look at Michael Jackson; for the most part they felt misunderstood most of the time. And I feel it goes back to earlier, we artists are tuned in a little bit differently from the average person. We internalize things on totally different levels. ECG: I understand.

LR: Exactly. See, now I feel understood lol. ECG: Lol, definitely. LR: Not physically overseas, but my music itself has reached as far as Japan, Tokyo…Milan Italy and who knows where else. I just recently came back from Oakland, California. ECG: Career wise, what is your ultimate goal?

LR: My ultimate goal. I think that would go back to my mission statement. I am vigilant to changing people lives through my talent of singing and writing music. I really want to be a philanthropist. Philanthropists is a large number of things, it could mean a lot of different things. Right now, what I am doing towards that goal is traveling, performing and continuing to write.

It launches October 28th. Wright Museum of African American History. I handpick anywhere from young ladies and take them out on a day of fun. ECG: Which a lot of young ladies need help with nowadays. LR: Yeah, I really think that.

It was always a part of my plan, but I was just recently able to start it. ECG: Their eyes have to be opened somehow. Do you write your own lyrics? LR: I do. And getting better is all a part of a growth process. ECG: Who would you compare your style to? LR: Wow. ECG: Lol, imcomparable! LR: Nooo. I try to be humble when it comes to that. I not saying that there is no one out there who like me, but I will tell you that growing up the people who had a big influence on my music was Stevie Wonder, Sade and I really gravitated towards Jill Scott.

ECG: So, your sound. When you sing who would you compare your sound to? ECG: Which sounds like a good mixture to me, lol, I like em both. ECG: Are you good in any other area of performing arts? I know what I would like to be good at.

I would like to be a better dancer. ECG: Lol, me too! My number one strength is vocal performance. Recently, I realized I am good at spoken word as well. Maybe that can tie into something. ECG: I feel that maybe it goes hand in hand with being a lyricist. LR: Ironically, I am. Like you said when it comes to poetry set to music, you have to feel those words to the core.

Like those words came from my mouth and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I think that really comes across every time I perform, at least I would like to think so. LR: Yeah, all the time. LR: Just like an athlete getting over a Charlie Horse, work it out. ECG: I believe you are newly married?

LR: I am. October 16th. LR: I love it. ECG: Tell me about it. My husband is my number one. He listens to all my crap, and he gives me good advice when I need it. ECG: I wanted to ask you, is it difficult being in the entertainment business while also being married. It has its ups and downs. Sometimes you kind of need that time away. ECG: Do you have any advice for someone who is in the industry and is either married or planning to get married?

No good can come out of it. LR: I like watching horror movies lol. ECG: Lol, how is that relaxing? LR: I wanna see some blood and guts and somebody getting chopped up. ECG: Wowww lol. Now for me, that kind of stuff gets my blood to boiling. I leave more hyped than I went in. LR: Lol, right. When its time to go to bed, your eyes are like glued open like, dang what is that? ECG: Yeah, like what did I just see? LR: Yeah, but I just like to watch movies. Horrors are my favorite, but I like all movies.

When I want to wind down, I just put a movie on. And then I like rum and coke. LR: I think that it really has to do with something that I mentioned earlier, doing what is put on your heart. They did what was good for them. You have to be authentic. ECG: It seems to me that the music or entertainment business can be exhausting, is it?

LR: Yupp! ECG: Lol. LR: A lot of people see the glamour of it, that hour and a half or two hours of a show, they see the artists up there doing what they love and let me tell you there is no other experience like it.

But that two hour show could sometimes take years to develop, it can be very daunting. For instance Oakland, California was my last show…to give you an idea what a typical day is like, and this is for me as the background singer, this is not the star of the show.

We are traveling from a. Detroit time, we have a layover in Houston, Texas and then we arrive in Oakland, California around 2 p. We get to the hotel and we have maybe an hour to eat, and try to unwind, settle or whatever you have to do.

The show starts at 4 p. We get off stage at 7 p. So we have another bite to eat, get to the hotel in enough time to shower. Then we drive two to three hours away. ECG: Which is what I was wondering, when do you rehearse? LR: We have rehearsal time. We rehearse more before the touring begins then we do now.

But if we rest for more than five days then we have another rehearsal, we have to rehearse. ECG: Now, you stay humble, but a lot of folks feel like when a person makes it they change. Why do you think that is? Is it necessary to change? LR: Me and my husband talk about this all of the time.

First of all, I think a person is who they are before they make it. Another aspect of it is sometimes the people around that person change. ECG: Right and they try to blame the change on you though. LR: Yeah they do. ECG: What about your friends? Have you had to leave any old friends behind, or just cut strings and let go?

LR: I have. It had nothing to do with music though. I think that everyone has their own passion in life and as your maturity level changes sometimes you do have to change the friends that are around you. ECG: Yes you do. Do you train or give vocal lessons? LR: You know what? I have been asked to do so. There is someone I can refer though, someone who has been trained on how to train a voice.

My talent is really raw. ECG: I get it, you just sing. Teaching someone how to sing is like a whole different thing. Do a lot of the ladies in your mentorship program plan on getting involved in the entertainment industry? LR: Well, some do and some of them have no desire.
