"Honest emotion always captures the spirit"
(Chip Taylor about "Ask Harry")
On her debutalbum Golden Green (2000), LOTTA WENGLÉN had composed a duet for herself and legendary artist and songwriter CHIP TAYLOR, who liked it so much that he gladly appeared on the album.
She has also toured with RYAN ADAMS Whiskeytown.
Lotta Wenglén was born in Malmoe in 1971 and started playing guitar and writing songs at an early age. She soon began making taperecordings with her older brother. When the two of them were introduced to a four channel portastudio it was pure heaven.
In her teens Lotta started her first band, but it wasn´t until the winter of 1995, when Lotta and two friends formed the band "Ba-Ba-Loo", that things started to sound any good. They did some local gigs in Malmoe and then got the danish recordcompany Mega Records to record and release their album "Frosting- the american way" in 1998.
In 1999, Lotta and Uffe, the bassplayer from ba-ba-loo took in two new band members and changed their name to "Bobby Ray". The band did a demo and played at Popstad 2000 in Malmoe.
In the year 2000 Lotta went solo and recorded the album "Golden Green" (DUNDRET STUDIO). It was released through Adrian Recordings in 2001. American songwriter Chip Taylor joined her in a duett on the album, "The hard part's to stay". The song was also released as a single two months before the album came out.
Lotta started her own label in 2002, Margit Music (after her grandmother) and released the ep "Scratch", the single "Ambassador of love" and the album "Paintbrush" that same year. All recorded at MIN STUDIO in Malmö.
During the years 2003 and 2004 she wrote, produced and recorded her third album by the computer at her house in Hököpinge Kyrkby. She namned it "Ask Harry" and released it through Margit Music/Smilodon in February 2005.
