Lor
Bio
Uplifting, empowering, and raw, Lor Golden is a rising star from Cameroon with an underlying gift to craft authentic lyrics derived from her experiences as a fierce, independent woman.
With influences from artists like Richard Bona and Erykah Badu, Lor discovered her passion for music at a young age. Art consumes her. Dance, songwriting, and theatre shaped her childhood - allowing a momentary escape from the harsh realities of sexism and discrimination that infect her country.
Fueled by an underlying desire to inspire female empowerment through the universal language of music, Lor fuses Hip Hop, Afro Soul and R&B with Cameroonian rhythms like Makossa, Bend-Skin or Bikutsi to create a unique sound. Since the release of her debut project “Dawn”, her songwriting skills have been widely appraised.
With a new album in the works, Lor is on her way to becoming an undeniable presence not only as an independent artist, but also as a dedicated activist and industry trailblazer.
