Interview with Lawnie Wallace

Before the age of 18, Country artist Lawnie Wallace had a major recording deal. Her debut album charted in the top 10 and included the hit song Thought I Was Dreaming. She went on a major cross Canada tour and had several high rotation videos on Country Music Television.  

After coming off the road she took a significant break from the stage and the music industry. Even though the music within her had never left. Time away gave her time to meditate on life and delve further into herself and her music.  

Lawnie had the privilege of landing a significant position working with students wanting to be in the Radio and TV Industry. During this time, she experimented with a new sound she calls 'Southern fried Techno'.  She recorded the album under her childhood nickname "OOKEE". It was like a rebirth helping her to redefine her craft. Lawnie placed top 10 in the international song writing competition and received an honourable mention with one of the songs from the OOKEE album called “Sugarland,” in which she co-wrote with her producer Ruben Huizenga and her father William Wallace.  

Lawnie recently released a brand new album called The Lost Years.
