    Lena Prima is a powerhouse vocalist, songwriter and performer whose music radiates joy, soul and a deep reverence for her roots. The youngest daughter of legendary performer Louis Prima, Lena carries forward a rich musical legacy while forging her own dynamic path in the world of swing, jazz and rock, all with a signature New Orleans Flair.

     With eight albums to her name-including a Billboard Jazz Top Ten release-Lena has brought her high energy performances to stages across the U.S. and Europe. Her long standing 14 year residency at the historic Hotel Monteleone's Carousel Bar and Lounge in New Orleans, named the #1 hotel bar in America by USA Today, became a beloved home for fans of her magnetic live shows.


    Lena’s repertoire includes classics from the Louis Prima songbook, her own original compositions and reimagined coverall delivered with infectious rhythm, heartfelt emotion and unmistakeable style. Her performances are more than concerts, they’re celebrations of life, love and good vibes.


    A certified Happiness Coach and founder of CIAO Inc., Lena is passionate about empowering others, especially through her work in Italian-American causes and women’s advocacy. She is currently working on her ninth album, “Good Vibes” with the highly acclaimed Lena Prima Band-a project that reflects her mission to uplift and inspire through music.

“Her vocals glisten with just the right amount of whimsy and has an almost conversational intimacy. Lena carves her own path in a way that would do her legendary papa proud.”
