Career
Lorena was born in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas. From a young age she always dreamed of working with music and dance, even having difficulties imposed by the locality and not coming from a family of artists, she continued fighting for her goals. When she turned 11, she left her hometown for improvement in the dancing arts. Since then traveled with several dance companies, participating in festivals throughout Brazil as a dancer. At the age of 16 she began working as a choreographer for the dance groups in which she participated. In 2004 she joined Kelly Key dancing group in her tour, in which she remained for three years. Although focused solely on a dancing career, Lorena has always shown talent for music and, influenced by friends, she began singing in nightclubs informally with backing vocals.[1]
In 2008 she met the producer Ian Duarte and Fabian Almeida, members of the record label Maxpop Music, and signed with the label. On August 10, 2008 the singer released her first single, entitled "Feel Da Funk", reaching the twenty-sixth position on the Brazilian Hot Dance Club Play. .[2]
The fullfilment of a partnership with DJ and Producer Filipe Guerra in the song "Can’t Stop Loving You" in 2009, was a huge hit indeed responsible for the Brazilian singer success throughout Brazil and some other countries in the electronic music scene, making the Lorena Simpson's name brand weight and a national icon in house music. From there, emerged hits on nightclubs and radios in the segment of electronic music in Brazil and the World. Later that year, the single "Brand New Day" entered the collection "Summer Eletrohits" 6 .
