LaLa Deaton Music

Influenced by her parents’ love of the crooners and the lush harmonies of the Andrew and McGuire sisters, as well as her own addiction to rock 'n' roll of the 70s-90s, and a later-blooming love for the story-song prose of country music, it's no wonder her songs have elements of all three genres. LaLa's love for music became apparent to her mother when she noticed her toddler had an ear for melodies and harmonies. That love for music forayed into LaLa's participation in symphonic, orchestral, jazz and marching bands, choirs, ensembles, show choirs and musical theater, and ultimately took her to Nashville at the age of 18 to attend the prestigious music school, Belmont University, where she acquired a degree in Music Business. After graduating, LaLa took a job and had a successful career in journalism, but couldn't avoid the calling back to her first love… music. When she's not writing and recording, LaLa plays music festivals and stays busy as a session and live background vocalist.

LaLa's debut album, Picture Perfect Christmas, features all-original, 1940s-style, big band music with a timeless feel that is sure to become part of the American songbook. Deaton will be releasing her first pop-country EP, "Dare," the summer of 2016.

LaLa's music has been featured in film and TV and her songs have been recorded by more than 20 artists across multiple genres. Her music has been featured in New York Times Bestselling author Mitch Albom's (Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven) Spotify playlist as well as on the website of world-renowned Law of Attraction author and speaker, Bob Proctor. LaLa has played everywhere from the famed Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to the House of Blues and Molly Malones in LA.
