Lianne Ojito

Everett Ramey

Liane Ojito was sitting on the roof of the North Hollywood, California apartment where she was couch surfing in 2003 when she wrote her first song, throwing together a jangling, folksy blast of sunshine-- "Butterfly Garden" -- that remains a fan favorite. Four years later the Miami native singer/songwriter is a musical force to be reckoned with. Drawing pure raw emotion inspired by her cross-country travels and mundanely sublime human encounters, she gingerly wraps them up into lyrical treasures. Liane’s songs are at once catchy and soulful with a natural rhythm, conveyed by her stylized vocals and percussive guitar playing. Liane began recording in 2004 using the on-board mic of her laptop, which lent her songs an intimate, lo-fi sound reminiscent of early Bright Eyes and Iron & Wine. She played gigs in bars and coffee shops all over Los Angeles before taking off for New York in October of 2006, collaborating with a number of musicians, and performing everywhere from bars to street corners. In June of that same year, she headed back to Miami where she played a number of gigs with the group Liane & The Mystery Band, until the band parted ways in May of 2007. It was at this time that Liane forged a creative partnership with Everett "The Golden Child" Ramey, a musician and producer based out of Lake Worth, Florida. His years as a professional musician, stellar guitar work and exceptional production skills were everything Liane was seeking to take her talent to the next level. Together they have worked tirelessly and put their heart and souls into honing their respective arts to their full potential.
