Lola Florial welcomes inquiries for corporate programs in San Francisco and New York City, with a jazz-pop sound rooted in vintage soul. Her range crosses jazz, soul, and pop, giving planners several musical reference points without reducing the performance to generic background music.
The fit changes with the moment. During arrival and networking, a planner may want restraint: room for conversation, a smaller visual footprint, and music that establishes atmosphere without owning the schedule. A dinner or client gathering may call for a more focused vocal presence while still leaving space for service and conversation. A holiday party, gala, launch, or closing celebration may instead need a clearly featured set with more rhythmic weight. Jazz-pop sits between those poles by joining jazz phrasing and intimacy with the directness of soul and pop.
Listen to the music and live video, identify the moment where live performance belongs, and choose the format you want to discuss. Share the date, venue, repertoire ideas, duration, staging, and pacing in the inquiry. The decision aid below turns common corporate moments into practical starting points.
Formats and Musical Roles to Discuss by Event Moment
Use these event-planning starting points to describe the musical role you want. Confirm the arrangement, volume, stage needs and program timing with Lola and your venue.
| Event moment | Format to ask about | Musical role or set style to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Networking reception | Vocals with backing tracks or band | Conversation-friendly jazz or soul as background atmosphere |
| Executive dinner | Vocals with backing tracks or band | A restrained vocal set placed around service and speaking moments |
| Holiday party | Band, with optional horns | A featured soul- and pop-leaning set, subject to repertoire confirmation |
| Product launch | Vocals with backing tracks or band | A focused jazz-pop moment before or after the main presentation |
| Gala | Band, with optional horns | A staged feature separated from dinner, appeals, or speeches |
| Awards night | Vocals with backing tracks or band | A discrete performance with clear space around presentations |
Benefits
- A recognizable musical identity: Lola's contemporary jazz-pop sound is rooted in vintage soul and shaped by influences including Billie Holiday, Sade, and Norah Jones.
- A broad listening palette: jazz, soul, and pop material gives a planner more than one stylistic reference when deciding whether the voice belongs in the room.
- Choose the setup: her usual band includes keys, guitar, bass and drums, with optional trumpet, saxophone and/or trombone. Vocals with backing tracks are also available. Confirm the chosen lineup for the event.
- Plan the duration: 30-, 45-, 60- and 90-minute performances are available, with multiple-set packages on request. Place the music around the program and confirm breaks in the inquiry.
- Hear the sound first: music and live video let the planning team assess tone, phrasing, original material, and presentation before contacting anyone.
- Genuine ties to both markets: Lola is based in San Francisco and spends time in New York City, so inquiries in either place begin with real geographic context.
- A distinctive artist story: Penn engineering and robotics, the Penn Jazz Ensemble, Apple program management, open mics, and original songwriting form a background a host can understand and describe accurately.
- The Lola Florial homepage brings the recordings, videos, and background together when the wider planning team needs one place to review the artist.
- Share the electronic press kit with your team for live performance video, press photos, performance history and the downloadable booking one-sheet.
What you can expect
- Start with the official address, management@lolaflorial.com, and include the event date, location, event type, and preferred format. Those four details make the request easy to identify and assess.
- Confirm availability and scope in writing before treating the date as booked. The format, musicians, repertoire, duration, breaks, travel, sound, staging, and venue responsibilities should be explicit wherever they matter.
- If financial terms are proposed, write down the total fee, payment timing, deposit or cancellation terms, and any included or excluded costs before making a decision.
- Before sending funds, check payment instructions against the same official email thread, especially if account details or timing change during the conversation.
- Once a booking moves forward, share the venue contact and working run of show, then keep one clearly confirmed version for the planner, venue, and performers.

Can the band size flex depending on our venue or guest count?
Lola’s usual band includes keys, guitar, bass and drums, with an optional horn section of trumpet, saxophone and/or trombone. She can also use backing tracks. Share your room and guest context, then confirm the event lineup before planning the stage around it.
Can we request specific songs or a particular repertoire mix?
Her repertoire includes originals, jazz standards and soul, blues, pop and R&B covers. A full song list is available on request. Name any specific songs, artists or mood you have in mind and ask which requests can be accommodated.
How does coordination with our venue and schedule work?
Share the known venue contact, schedule, performance window, sound system, staging limits, and load-in rules. Then put the agreed division of responsibilities into the working production plan rather than assuming either the venue or performer owns a task.
Does Lola perform in both San Francisco and New York City?
Lola is based in San Francisco and spends time in New York City, and inquiries are accepted for both markets. The exact date, address, and any travel involved still need a specific confirmation.
