Desire, Determination & Drive â three words with three separate definitions, yet one common accord. For those who are a part of the âNow Generationâ where to hustle is paramount and to grind on a regular basis is status quo, if youâre not pushing it to the limit, you donât even exist. Entering your existence is the Bronx native, and Underground Music Awards â2006 Best R&B Female Artistâ Lafonda. Those who are familiar with Lafondaâs work ethic would call her the hardest working artist out there, period. They couldnât be more accurate in describing the young business woman. There arenât many stages in NYC that Lafonda hasnât graced. Clocking close to 70 performances over the past fiscal year is diehard proof of her BX hustle. Lafonda (vocal range: second-soprano) has been singing since the age of 2, in thanks to a loving mother who shares the same passion. Lafonda has been performing in front of large crowds since elementary school. In 1998, she joined the Choir Academy of Harlem where she sharpened her vocal skills and graduated in the summer of 2002. Wherever Lafonda goes, she brings along a presence that takes over the room and a performance that is sure to entertain. âI love entertaining the crowd,â says the BX starlet. âThere is no place, and I mean no place that Iâll rather be than on stage entertaining a live audience. If you call me and I donât pick up, thatâs most likely because Iâm in my element, on stage tearing it down.â

Currently, youâll find Lafonda promoting her new single, âOoh Ahhâ produced by Plaboy-Chi. In âOoh Ahhâ, Lafonda sings about a guy who is the talk of the town with the ladies, but sheâs not paying him any mind even though heâs interested in her. âYou know the story,â she says with a smirk. âBoy meets girl; boy wants the girl, but the girl could care less. This song is basically saying that just because every other girl in the hood wants you, doesnât mean that I must follow suit. OK, so youâre digginâ me. Thatâs fine and all, but are you even on my level? I know that the ladies are feeling me on this one.â
Lafonda has just come off of one of the biggest months and quite possibly the biggest night of her young career. At New Yorkâs 4th Annual Underground Music Awards, that was held at the legendary B.B. Kings in Manhattan, Lafonda walked away with the award for Best R&B Female Artist; an award that eluded her the year before. âI have to tell you that winning that award was a huge moment for me,â Lafonda says as she reflects back to walking onto the stage after hearing her name. âThereâs just so much more to do. Iâm happy with my early accomplishments, but Iâm not content. Donât expect to see me slowing down. The skies the limit for meâ¦â
