Soraya LaPread

Bio

Crafting music with everyone from Yeti Beats and Tim Himself for global superstar Doja Cat to Grammy award-winning artists including Burna Boy and K-Pop heavyweights Blackpink, the growing global awareness for the work of Los Angeles based producer, Soraya LaPread comes as her career launches into overdrive.

Driven by her strong desire to succeed as a woman in music production and inspired by production pioneers like Rick Rubin, Quincy Jones and Todd Rundgren, LaPread’s nomadic path through the music biz is unsurprising when you learn that her father, legendary bassist Ronald LaPread, met her mother on a New Zealand bound flight on a Commodores world tour.

The couple were married within two weeks and settled in New Zealand but young Soraya’s life was one spent backstage — and sometimes onstage — with her globetrotting father. It was one of these gigs — by George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic — that sealed Soraya’s interest in music and she followed her teenage schooling in New Zealand with a stint at the Musicians’ Institute in Hollywood, where she studied music production, songwriting and audio engineering.

With early credits ranging from Blackpink to Chloe Bailey; Tokischa feat Sexyy Red to A.Chal to New Zealand artists JessB, Bailey Wiley, Paige and Stan Walker, LaPread has been tirelessly working in sessions and keeping up a reputation as a glamorous crowd-pleasing DJ who has worked rooms everywhere from the Standard, W Hotel to the Viper Room and parties for everyone from Selena Gomez and Celine Dion to Moet Chandon.
