Lannie’s signature style is an eclectic fusion of genres, blending Jazz, Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova, Bohemian, and Neo-Classical influences into captivating arrangements that speak to music lovers of all kinds. His hands glide effortlessly over the keys with speed, precision, and an emotional depth that pulls listeners in from the first note. It’s not uncommon to hear gasps from the crowd as they witness the stunning interplay between Lannie and his band—each musician elevating the other in a display of pure, unfiltered musicianship.

​

A natural entertainer, Lannie often surprises his audience with playful moments: laying down a bassline with his left hand while carrying the melody with his right, engaging in musical duels with his bassist, violinist, or guitarist, or even executing a cheeky glissando with his nose. But behind the humor lies a deep emotional core. Whether he's delivering an intense neoclassical-infused jazz piece or a tender, heartwarming Bossa Nova ballad, Lannie’s music always resonates on a profound level—leaving listeners moved, inspired, and wanting more.

​

Despite his demanding role as Founder and CEO of Hands In Motion Music Productions and School—home to a recording studio, artist development, marketing, and music business services—Lannie’s greatest joy is performing live. It’s on stage, in front of his loyal fans, where his passion shines brightest. His goal is simple yet powerful: “I just want my audience to enjoy the music, feel it, and leave happy.”
