Her most recent highlight was when she performed on stage at the Special Olympics World Games to open up for KNS Rockstar! She also was thrilled to have performed at Sugar Shane Mosley’s MMA Event as entertainment between the matches.
Weekly she is recording a cover song and video with the OC Hit Factory and super music producer Thomas Barsoe. Soon they hope to work on her new EP. Laci writes all of her original music songs.

Laci has worked with 5 Time Grammy Winner and Grammy Governors Board Member Malik Yusef and is currently working with him on his personal album too. She is very honored and excited to be featured on 2 songs of his HOME album for @hiphopcaucus along with various other artists such as Ne-Yo, Common, Karmin, Candice Glover and Antonique Smith. Her name appeared along side them in many news outlets such as Billboard and MTV.
Her single “Runnin’ Free” released the video on May 31, 2015 for viewing. It has a very good PSA story line in it that Laci wrote herself along with the song lyrics. The song was produced by 7 time Grammy Nominee Haskel Jackson. The video is at over 17,500 views on YouTube! We have just been notified that it was picked to be played on Girls Talk TV channel on the show Women In Music. Schedules will be posted when we know what they are.
She has recently recorded new music with one of Universal’s Producers Skyler Lexx, and has been performing 2 of the songs all over the place that deal with women empowerment. “On My Own” and “Rejected” were both written by the surprising lyricist herself!! The audience has been well received for both of these songs. Usually if schedules permit she brings dancers with her and performs the awesome choreo to them from the one and only Shane Sparks! The music video for “On My Own” will be released by summer 2016 and the 2 singles will be out this Spring for purchase!
In addition to music, Laci began an acting career at age 7 when she played young Christina Aguilera in her music video “HURT”. She has since been in over 39 movies/TV productions as well as hosting a one hour talk show called ActorsE CHAT (24 episodes so far). She interviews celebrities and finds out all about them . One of her most famous scenes is from Modern Family where she plays Cam’s Featured Music Student. If you haven’t seen this, you will! Hilarious!

AWARDS and her 1st YOUNG ENTERTAINER AWARDS. Both of these events are being held in March 2016 so we will see if that nomination can be turned into a win! Midlife can be found on iTunes, IndieReign and Amazon Prime.
