Navigating a maze of Lebanese, American, British, and French identities, Lana Nauphal first found solid ground at age 13, when she discovered 60s & 70s folk. Before long, she got her first guitar, and wrote her first song: she's been rooted ever since. Her debut album, Wildland, produced by Tim Bidwell, was released in 2024.

She is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Nonfiction at Columbia University.
