notes
Laini sang her first songs as a five-year-old belting out swing tunes with the family 40's dance band. She also had a sister with cerebral palsy, whose one great joy was to listen to the LP record player. Laini's job was to make sure the music of the great crooners and torch singers played for hours.
Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Doris Day became some of her first voice teachers. After several years of classical voice training in college and soloing in the Pacific Northwest and Europe, she returned to her roots. For several years, she has dazzled audiences singing with swing bands and charming crowds at fairs, festivals and jazz clubs in Washington, Oregon, California and Texas.
Laini is also a talented songwriter. She has co-written and produced several songs and radio jingles in the Pacific Northwest.
In 1998 she produced her first CD "lost in the feeling" and released it at the concert "Music She Wrote.... Songs She Sings" which benefited the local women's shelter in Vancouver, WA. For two hours Laini and her trio "The Guys", entertained a packed audience with songs that were either written or sung by famous women musicians.
In 2000 Laini released her second CD, Where I Belong, a mix of country and blues that shows off her sultry voice.
After many requests, Laini released "The Songs of Patsy Cline", a seven song tribute CD. One man's response after hearing Laini sing "Sweet Dreams"..... "Patsy is in the building!"

A perfect blend of music genres with the talent of the artist
author: PatThis CD is my introduction to Laini Risto. Her impressive vocal talent and expressiveness bring new life to some of the most cherished songs. It is as if I had personally chosen the songlist to include just those that had a special place in my heart. She made me fall in love with them all over again.
