Original Music Bio

Indie mouth, electronic feet. Organic/melodic house. Producer / Musician / DJ. Pretty good dancer.

LA based organic house musician and producer Tim Lacatena just released his third single, “Secret of the Fair”. With burning electronic beats and a silky raw voice raised on Duran Duran, Lacatena combines a whiff of nostalgia with a need to dance in a moonlit rave. Distant cousin of Erasure and Kid Francescoli. Lacatena’s early singles provide a first glimpse of an artist in bloom.

No stranger to performing life, Tim trained as a ballet dancer and actor, later appearing in films/tv shows like Step Up, House of Lies and Disney’s Kickin’ It. He’s thrilled to be performing his most personal work yet, as a writer and musician.
