About The Artist
- Name: La’Nolia
- Location: Memphis, TN USA
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, La’Nolia is the oldest of four siblings and has been singing since the age of five. At every family gathering, she’d be called on to sing, but her shyness always held her back. Eventually, her family realized she preferred singing in private, often sneaking off to a quiet room just to let her voice out.
As she got older, La’Nolia was introduced to rapping by her cousins. Though singing was her first love, her confidence was shattered in the 5th grade when a classmate publicly out-sang her. Feeling defeated but determined, she channeled her energy into rap—writing her first verse and performing it at school just days later. The crowd returned, and from that point, rap became her main creative outlet.
She chased secular music for a time, hoping to become a celebrity—but All Praises to the Most High, He did not allow that path to flourish. Her life took a turn when her family relocated to Jackson, Mississippi. It was there she first began attending church. At 17, after a period of disobedience, her father told her, “God said to put you out.” She vividly remembers walking up the street of Lakewood with a few bags in hand and her head down—until something within her said, “Hold your head up!”
Though the road ahead was lonely, the Most High provided. She wasn’t homeless—family nearby took her in—but the challenges didn’t end there. She was ridiculed for the things she didn’t know, and fear of being laughed at kept her from asking for help. Much of what she didn’t learn at home, she learned on her journey into adulthood. But even then, strangers often became vessels of mercy, showing her the love she craved from family.
Years passed without communication with her parents due to differing beliefs. She missed many family holidays, often feeling like an outsider. After having children of her own, she resolved to do better. She reconnected with her father and returned to the church—the only one she knew—and it was there she rediscovered her soul. She joined the choir, where her passion for singing was reignited, and learned the power of praise.
In 2016, her prayer for truth was answered, though full obedience didn’t come until three years later. She and her children were baptized on the Feast of First Fruits. From that moment, the real spiritual battle began. Yet she stands, stronger than ever, continuing to overcome every obstacle through the power of the Most High.
La’Nolia’s mission is clear: to use her testimony and music to reach those who feel forgotten, unworthy, or misunderstood. If the Most High could take someone like her—once considered gullible and lacking understanding—and fill her with wisdom, truth, and purpose, then He can surely do it for others. Through every verse and every praise, La’Nolia fights to rescue just one more soul.
“For you are a holy people to YHWH your Elohim; YHWH your Elohim has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
