Lachi is a vocalist, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and author based in New York City. Having released numerous albums and singles, Lachi's music is often described as Pop, Dance, or Singer Songwriter.
Daughter of Author and Professor Dr. Marcellina Offoha and the sixth of seven children, Lachi began writing songs and short stories at a very early age, and performed in musical ensembles throughout her school years. Lachi has a congenital visual impairment, Coloboma of the retina causing legal blindness. Lachi overcame her severe low vision through music, writing and performing.
Lachi attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she created the all female a cappella group The UNC Cadence. She then moved to New York City to embark upon her music and writing career while working towards a master's degree in Music at New York University. Apart from obtaining side music gigs, Lachi worked at the New York District's United States Army Corps of Engineers.
Lachi's music can best be described as Pop, soul and electronic dance music with empowering messages.
She completed her first project album, "And This Is My Life," full of solo piano pieces released June 6, 2006. The album is an intimate array of jazz, blues and mellow piano songs heavily influenced by life experiences throughout her college years. On January 24, 2009, she released her piano-driven alternative rock EP "Ugly Beautiful," full of messages of inner growth. This EP demonstrates Lachi's strong songwriting prowess, and though rock, still harbors much of her jazz influence through colorful chord progressions and random spouts of scatting.
