"Though these eyes are broken, well these ears truly see right…in black and white." Lachi sings, referring to her visual impairment, and her true ability to see through black and white piano keys.
Lachi has garnered much musical respect from innumerable reviewers, as her vocal and lyrical prowess "captures what was once a great time for music" (Radio Indy). With a performance deemed "consistently good" and "with sultry delivery" by Computer Music Magazine, "standout" by NYU's Washington Square News, and “gorgeous…with nice catchy melodies” by College Music Journal, Lachi brings the art back into songwriting and the vigor into performing.
Lachi and her very talented all-blind band have recently finished recording an album under Fanatic Records, which will be distributed by EMI/Capitol in the summer. With successful showcases at SxSW, CMJ, the IndieGirl Conference, and many other festivals, colleges and venues around the country, Lachi's music continues to receive positive reviews and a great amount of college, community and online radio coverage.
Lachi also works hard around the clock to promote and further the careers of other blind musicians in the New York City area. Lachi has taken it upon herself to uncover and bring together some of the finest talent New York City’s blind community has to offer.
With a lot of Lachi’s lyrics inspired by the stigmas of her visual impairment, her musical honesty and depth has won her recognition as a 2006 Independent Music Awards finalist and grabbed her featured spots on National Public Radio and Joey Reynold's AM Radio Show, to name a few. A high-energy quality show is second nature to the band, as witnessed by their consistent performances throughout the North East and Mid Atlantic region, and their audiences’ unforgettable experiences.
