My Story
LIANA LUXE is Tomorrow. She is a MAELSTROM of ethereal electric creativity. Borrowing inspiration from greats like Lana Del Rey, Billie Holiday, Nick Drake, Trent Reznor, Nina Simone, Macy Gray and Sia, LIANA LUXE is a Los Angeles-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, performer, music producer and filmmaker.
​
Born and raised in Berrien Springs, Michigan, of Afro-Cuban and Scottish/Irish descent, LIANA LUXE was magically musical as early as she can remember. After a near-death medical event at 14, she signed modeling contracts and worked regularly for Elite and Ford out of Chicago. Also living in Berrien Springs at the time was "The Greatest" --Muhammad Ali-- who had a profound impact. At a party at Ali's home, she began playing his piano and Ali praised her talent and encouraged her to "Be a champion and go all the way" with her incredible songwriting talent.
​
Previously known as Erin Martin, LIANA LUXE’s first chart success was as lead vocalist and co-writer on Chicago House Legend Roy Davis Jr. 's "I Have a Vision" (released through Scion A/V with remixes by Fred Falke, Todd Edwards, and The Juan Maclean), hitting the top ten on Pete Tong's UK BBC Radio 1 program and dance charts across Europe. Subsequently, she worked with NO ID (Kanye West, Rihanna, Jay-Z) and Mark Saunders (Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Tricky) and was selected for NBC's The Voice, anchoring a top-20 spot on Team Cee-Lo, garnering praise from Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine, and appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (singing with The Roots), and getting tipsy with Hoda Kotb on The Today Show.
​
Her "Balloon" appears in Pretty Little Liars, and her haunting ballad "One Day" is featured in Netflix's One Small Hitch. She has performed across the country; her favorite shows being Lollapalooza, Summerfest Milwaukee (opening for De La Soul) and the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. Her Spotify stream count (Erin Martin) is over 400,000 plays and she has over a MILLION Youtube views.
