My Story
Maelstrom of Ethereal Electric Creativity
Born Lyanna Erin Martin, LIANA LUXE is a visionary artist—singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and filmmaker—who fuses gothic glam, cinematic soul, and electric mysticism.
Drawing from her Scots-Irish, American, and Afro-Cuban heritage, she channels ancestral depth and futuristic power into every note.
The Spark
Raised in a household steeped in rhythm, theater, and resilience, LIANA was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at age 10 and underwent life-changing surgery by 14.
That same year, she performed piano at a private gathering in Muhammad Ali’s home. His words to her—“You are the greatest, even when you’re bleeding”—became a personal prophecy.
Runway To Recording Studio​
Signed to Elite and Eileen Ford Modeling Agencies at 14-16, she walked runways and starred in national campaigns for Fortune 500 brands and nonprofits alike. But melody pulsed louder than the flash of any camera.
​
Later, she relocated to Chicago, balancing college, serving/bartending, and performing while attending Lake Michigan College, Ivy Tech (A.A.), and the University of Indiana.
​
LIANA is also a certified Level 2 Reiki practitioner, crystal healer, and intuitive tarot reader.
Breakthrough Moments​
A fearless force of originality, LIANA first turned heads on VH1’s Rock of Love with Bret Michaels and later on NBC’s The Voice (Team CeeLo - Top 17), where Mr. Green called her “strange and unique and bizarre and great and wonderful.”
​
She later topped European dance charts (Pete Tong, BBC Radio 1) alongside Chicago house legend Roy Davis Jr. with “I Have a Vision,” and has worked with luminaries like:
• Cassidy (certified Gold, 3x Billboard Top 10 albums)
• Phil Speiser (Steve Aoki, Wiz Khalifa, Iggy Azalea)
• No I.D. (1 Grammy: Run This Town//Jay-Z Feat. Rihanna, Kanye West 10 Nominations)
• Mark Saunders (Depeche Mode, Tricky, The Cure, Bjork)​
Her original compositions have been featured in Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family), and she co-starred in the romantic comedy One Small Hitch (streaming on Netflix).
​
A Voice to Remember: The Ne-Yo Moment
While competing on The Voice, LIANA LUXE (then Erin Martin) had the extraordinary opportunity to be coached by Cee Lo Green and work closely with Ne-Yo during the Battle Rounds.
That experience, being mentored by one of R&B’s most iconic voices, expanded her creative vision and cemented her desire to push boundaries—vocally, sonically, and emotionally.
LUXEORCISM: The Ritual Is Real
Her most raw and potent work yet, LUXEORCISM, is a cinematic EP—written and executive produced by LIANA herself.
​
Luxeorcism features ethereal synths, soul-scorching vocals, and a blazing verse from Hip-hop icon Cassidy.
Trauma becomes alchemy.
Shadow becomes light.
Uncle Panther & The Era Of Ascension​
Under the fierce mentorship of Uncle Panther—former owner of NYC’s iconic Grindhouse Studios and a longtime collaborator in the development of artists alongside Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz, and Cassidy—LIANA is leveling up. ​

Live, Loud, & On The Horizon​
With past performances at Lollapalooza Chicago, Summerfest Milwaukee (opening for De La Soul), and The Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood, LIANA has delivered unforgettable moments on stage—and now, she’s preparing to bring her immersive ritual of sound and soul to audiences once again.
With over 400K Spotify streams, 1M+ YouTube views, and features in 45 Musicians Who Rock Chicago and 50 Most Beautiful Chicagoans, she’s built a loyal fanbase—and she’s just getting started.
​
In 2025, she launches a West Coast tour and a full-length album, expanding the LUXEORCISM universe with deeper emotional range and sonic brilliance.
​
Now: Join The Journey​
Now based in Los Angeles, LIANA is actively seeking aligned partners for publishing, sync licensing, collaborations, and live bookings—while remaining committed to artistic independence and authentic creative growth.

This is the Era of Ascension.
Let the ritual begin.​
