How to evaluate Lola's voice before inquiring

Supporting proof

  • • Use the Music page to assess recorded tone and songwriting, then use Videos to assess a live performance. Listening to both is more useful than treating the phrase "jazz singer" as a complete description of the voice.
  • • Listen once for the overall mood, then again for phrasing, dynamics, and how clearly the vocal sits in the arrangement. On video, notice how the performance carries without studio production and whether that presence suits conversation, a featured set, or a formal program moment. Note one example from each page in your inquiry to create a concrete starting point for the event discussion.
  • • Lola's filmed open-mic performance of her original song "Low" reached the top of r/sanfrancisco with more than 800 upvotes, highlighting the audience response to her live performance.
  • • Billie Holiday, Sade, Amy Winehouse, Chet Baker, Norah Jones, and Ella Fitzgerald trace the jazz and vintage-soul lineage audible in Lola's music.
  • • Lola's original music centers on love, longing, and learning to trust the quiet. Her debut EP, "If You Have to Ask," arrives July 24, 2026.
  • • She sang with the Penn Jazz Ensemble before moving to San Francisco, working as an Engineering Program Manager at Apple, and beginning to perform at open mics.
  • • The Lola Florial homepage connects her sound, videos, and artist story so planners can hear the music and understand the artistic direction before inquiring.

Checklist

  1. Add the event basics

    Date: ____. Exact venue or city: ____. Event type: ____. Performance window or program moment: ____.

  2. Describe the vocal role

    Choose background atmosphere, a featured vocal set, or a singer within a larger program, then describe the role the voice should play.

  3. Choose a preferred format

    Select solo vocalist, trio, or band as the format you want to discuss, then include that direction in the inquiry.

  4. Listen before writing

    Review one recording and one live clip. Add a sentence about the tone, phrasing, original song, or stage presence that feels relevant to the event.

  5. Name the musical questions

    List any questions about jazz, soul, or pop material, original songs, a requested mood, specific songs, lineup, performance length, or breaks.

  6. Name the practical questions

    Ask about availability, travel, equipment, staging, venue responsibilities, price, payment timing, and any terms needed before a decision.

  7. Send the complete brief

    Email lolaflorial@gmail.com with the subject Booking Request. A useful opening note is: “Hello, I’m planning [event type] on [date] at [venue or city] for [guest count]. I’m interested in a [solo, trio, or band] format for [background atmosphere or a featured set]. I listened to [recording or clip] and liked [specific quality]. What lineup and event details should we confirm next?”

What you can expect

  • Hear the voice before making a booking decision: Music holds current recordings, while Videos shows Lola performing live.
  • The official inquiry address is lolaflorial@gmail.com. A complete first message includes the date, location, event type, and preferred solo, trio, or band format.
  • Lola is based in San Francisco and spends time in New York City, giving inquiries a natural connection to both markets.
  • Solo-vocalist, trio, and band formats give planners a clear starting choice for matching the scale of the performance to the room and program.
  • The artist story is specific and traceable through Penn engineering, the Penn Jazz Ensemble, Apple program management, open mics, original songwriting, and the live response to "Low."

What should you verify before hiring Lola as a jazz singer?

What kinds of event inquiries does the site accept?

Weddings, corporate events, private events, wineries, lounges, restaurants, and other live-music settings are all within the published inquiry scope. Include the specific occasion and performance role so the request is clear.

Can I book her solo, or with other musicians?

Lola performs as a solo vocalist and with a trio or band. Name the option you are considering; the musicians, instruments, and availability for the event still need a specific confirmation.

Where is Lola based, and will she travel?

Lola is based in San Francisco and spends time in New York City, and the site accepts inquiries tied to both markets. For any other location, include the exact city and ask whether travel is possible.

Is Lola strictly a traditional jazz singer?

Her sound is jazz-pop with vintage soul rather than one narrow traditional-jazz lane. Lola performs jazz, soul, and pop material, and original songwriting is part of the artist catalog. Ask directly if a precise repertoire matters.

Can I hear her voice before deciding to reach out?

Yes. The music section contains current recordings, and the video section contains live footage. Compare both: a recording reveals production and songwriting, while a live clip gives a different view of phrasing and presentation.

What does it cost to hire Lola as a jazz singer?

Pricing and packages are not listed publicly. Ask with the date, location, event type, and preferred format, then evaluate the specific fee, payment timing, and inclusions that are proposed.
