A regular face on the London nu-jazz and live music scene, Marketing/PR Manager at Brownswood Recordings as well as producer for Basement sessions and events.

With a diverse range of knowledge and beats in her bag LAANI has been circulating the UK underground club scene, taking the controls at venues such as Oval Space, Corsica Studios, Colour Factory, Ronnie Scotts, The Jazz Cafe, and spinning at events for promoters like KOKO, Percolate Music, Heels & Souls, Faith Fanzine & Crack Magazine to name but a few.

A passionate radio broadcaster, be sure to check her weekly residency ‘The FullJoy Experience’ show on Worldwide FM. LAANI has hosted many international shows in The Netherlands, France and USA  as well as features on Jazz FM plus ‘Jazz & Tings’ in the archives, showcasing nu-jazz talent from different parts of the world with a twist of ‘Tings’ being LAANI’s penchant for alternative niche sounds across the board.

"Reflecting on the music that defined who I am as a selector today, the mix is an ode to the sounds that shaped my youth from Britfunk to electro-soul leading to the birth of street-soul in the UK. I have a deep love for each track on this mix and also dedicating this to the new wave of electro-soul and street soul creators & producers, makes me so happy to hear all the incredible music being released now inspired by the early 80s to 90s era."
