With her quirky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, universal pop melodies and
trademark curly hair, British dance floor Barbarella Lolene is a hot topic.
Coining the term, “awkward pop,” Lolene describes her sound as “Joan
Collins in Dynasty, Studio 54, white jump-suits, and disco balls.”

Raised by a single mother and “independent by default,” Lolene is a native
of Bristol, England where she grew up mastering tap, jazz dance, and

ballet before discovering, as a teen, that music was her true calling.

Lolene began writing songs and singing backing vocals for trip-hop artist
Martina Topley-Bird and local drum and bass pioneer Roni Size. After
completing school, she moved to London and fronted a short-lived girl
group. With a knack for writing melodies and lyrics, she wrote all the
group’s material and signed to a development deal at BMG Records.

Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a demo CD, she moved to
Hollywood in search of her big break. She was quickly discovered by multi-
platinum producer Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem who signed her to his publishing
label Beluga Heights/Sony ATV. She went to work as a songwriter,
collaborating with such heavy-hitters as Andreas Carlsson, Christopher
Rojas, Makeba Riddick , Evan Bogart, Danja, Harvey Mason Jr., and
Christina Milian, for whom Lolene penned the single “Diamonds” featuring
Kanye West.
