Lorah Bodie
Singer/Songwriter/Lyricist
About
Lorah started performing at events around town at the age of 6 under the direction of Beth Leigh. Beth convinced Dr. Blain Johnson, Corral Director at Southern Utah State College (now Southern Utah University (SUU)), to consider taking on Lorah, age 10 at the time, as a student. By then, singing had become her calling card.
She continued classical voice training into her teens when Rock n Roll became her passion. After she graduated from SUU, she performed with several rock bands from the Southern California area from the late 70s into the early 90s before taking a break to pursue an academic career at San Diego State University. She continued singing at special events, as writing became more of a focus.
In 2019, Muffin Records released Lorah’s album, RAIN, the culmination of a writing partnership with French composer, Tristan Des Pres, and a stellar lineup of featured artists. The album is available at LorahBodie.com and all major streaming services. “We've worked to create a positive ripple, our Stitch in Time, messages left behind for those who seek to find.” ~Lorah
