Age:  41 Lives: Los Angeles, California         Occupation: Producer, guitarist for Nancy Sinatra Other talents: Plays several instruments (i.e. guitars, dobro, bouzouki, mandolin, balalaika, auto harp, triplate, banjo, ukulele, percussion, jaw harp, bell tree, hammered dulcimer), singer, songwriter Producer/conceptualist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Lanny Cordola started his musical sojourn with MCA recording artist Giuffria, a mid-80's hard rock outfit that charted a couple of singles and slipped into heavy MTV rotation. Giuffria eventually blossomed into House of Lords, the first band to sign a deal with Kiss' Gene Simmons and his eponymous record label, distributed through RCA. After almost two years on the road with HOL, Cordola has gone on to write, produce and perform on over fifty albums of considerable variety and breadth. Along the way, he has worked with such formidable talents as Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Perry, Carole King, the Beach Boys, Patti Austin, Slash and Duff McKagan (of Guns N' Roses), Poe, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Black Oak Arkansas, the Cult, Toto, supermodel Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Denny Laine (of Wings), Spencer Davis, Vanilla Fudge, Little Richard, Jack Bruce, Etta James, Sammy Davis Jr. and the Dust Brothers - the production team who've worked with Beck and the Rolling Stones.     The new millennium has seen Cordola forge alliances with such performers as Atlantic recording artist Beth Hart, SX10 (featuring Sen Dog of Cypress Hill), Grammy-nominated vocalist Everlast, and Capitol recording artists Kottonmouth Kings.  Lanny recently spearheaded production on a Bruce Springsteen tribute record. Mike Love (the Beach Boys), Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco), the Persuasions, Grammy-nominated blues singer Little Milton, and rock legend Ronnie Spector are just a handful of the artists who appear on the album. Prior to that, Cordola co-produced (with DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill) the Latin hip hop guru Mellow Man Ace CD, “From The Darkness To The Light.” Along with his production duties, Cordola has remixed a number of songs by such artists as Bob Marley, Berlin, Tiffany, Missing Persons and Cherie Currie (of the Runaways). He has also co-written six songs to be included on the upcoming Mr. Big album, “Actual Size.” Cordola is heavily involved in scoring films, just completing work on two new pictures: Pauley Shore's “You'll Never Weiz In This Town” with cameos by Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg, Dr. Dre, Tom Sizemore and Tommy Lee; and “Now You Know” starring Kevin Smith and Jeff Anderson (“Clerks,” “Dogma,” etc.). Cordola also just completed producing “Hollywood Zen” by Aztec Circus featuring Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses, the Cult), as well as the self-titled release by Like Hell, a Minneapolis band, with guest performances from members of the Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age. Upcoming for Cordola is production work for Sen Dog's (Cypress Hill) solo debut; a role in “2001 Maniacs,” a feature film starring Gene Simmons and Robert Englund; a collaboration with Ray Manzarek (The Doors); and work on a fourth solo album.
