ABOUT

Although Minna LaFortune may be a newcomer to the world of streaming and recording, her passion for music has been ingrained in her since childhood. The artist’s musical journey was influenced greatly by her parents, who played pivotal roles in nurturing her love for the art form. Her mother, a folklorist, would often serenade her with beautiful melodies, while her father would take Minna and her siblings to rum bars in Jamaica, where she learned to play the jukeboxes and danced to the rhythm of Jamaican pop music.

From an early age, Minna’s musical inclination veered towards opera and jazz, and she dreamt of becoming a singer. She pursued her passion by studying voice at Ardenne High School, where she actively participated in school choirs. Her dedication to classical training paid off when she won a prestigious bronze medal as a soprano soloist in the 1977 annual Jamaica National Music Competition.

Minna’s artistic journey has been shaped by a diverse array of musical influences. Legends such as Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Marcia Griffiths, Gregory Isaacs, Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, Barbara Streisand, Etta James and Leontyne Price have played a significant role in shaping her artistry, contributing to her unique and eclectic musical style.

As she steps into the streaming and recording world, Minna brings with her a rich background of musical experiences and influences that continue to shape her creative path.
