As one of very few women covering this exclusive niche, Lena provides an intimate bird’s eye view of Los Angeles based musicians, quiet-kept history-makers deserving of broader attention and acclaim.
She has captured recording sessions, sound-checks, concerts, rehearsals, and the camaraderie exhibited at inner circle events.
