Her cabaret productions are directed by the iconic Richard Jay-Alexander, famously known for his work with artists like Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, and Kristin Chenoweth.

Her hit songs “Money Can’t Buy You Class,” “Chic C’est La Vie,” “Girl Code,” “Feelin Jovani,” and “Marry F Kill” have been streamed and downloaded tens of millions of times. Luann teamed up with Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin) for her dance single “Viva La Diva,” and with Bruce Roberts & Billy Stritch for her holiday single “What Do I Want For Christmas?”, released in December 2021.

She also has exciting new music and media projects on the horizon, including a brand-new single, music video, and audiobook, all coming soon in 2026.

Luann has made many appearances on shows including The Today Show, The View, Access Hollywood, ET, Extra, E! News, Project Runway, The Masked Singer, and many others.

As an actress, she has appeared as a guest star on many popular shows, including Law & Order: SVU alongside Mariska Hargitay, Royal Pains, The Murdoch Mysteries, and the Hulu series Difficult People.

A champion for many charitable organizations, including The American Cancer Society, GLAAD, ACE Partnership for the Homeless, ASPCA, and The Fortune Society, Luann is deeply committed to supporting causes that empower underserved communities and formerly incarcerated individuals by helping them build successful life paths.

A mother of two successful artists, Victoria and Noel, Luann currently divides her time between her homes in New York City and the Hamptons.
