Lolene "Miss Foo Foo" Everett is a recording artist and songwriter born in Bristol, UK on March 12, 1985. She was raised by her Mother Caroline and Grandmother Eileen. She grew up performing in various professional musical theater productions and attended her first dance class at the Bristol School Of Dance Academy at 2 years old. She went on to practice ballet, tap and modern dance up until she was 15 and won many prestigious awards during her time as a dancer. As a teen, Lolene was involved in various TV productions for the BBC and HTV but wanted to follow her passion and become a musician. While in Bristol, Lolene began singing backing vocals for Martina Topley-Bird (vocalist for Tricky). She also often collaborated with local drum and bass pioneer Roni Size. Lolene moved to London after school to become a pop singer and quickly signed a development deal with BMG Records. Fronting their latest girl group, Holla, Lolene wrote all the songs for the group.

Lolene moved to Los Angeles and was signed to Beluga Heights/Sony ATV in 2008 after being discovered by multi-platinum hit record producer Jonathan 'J.R' Rotem (Rick Ross, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Sean Kingston) and his manager Zach Katz. Hired initially as a writer, Lolene began crafting her sound with the help of Rotem and other A-list producers. Lolene can be heard on the Rick Ross ft.
