Ariana DiLorenzo On Ariana And The Rose, Heffron Drive, Paul McCartney

Ariana DiLorenzo, who performs with her 5-piece band Ariana and the Rose, will be opening for Heffron Drive when their tour kicks off later this month. DiLorenzo combines her love of singer-songwriter style and electronic music. "The music has been this challenge for me to kind of reconcile how I love both of those types and how I want to make music that allows me to do both — write songs that I feel like tell stories while having dance beats on them," DiLorenzo told Uinterview exclusively. "I think this EP is the first time I have been able to do that in a way that represents me and represents what I've been trying to do."

Remixed versions of DiLorenzo's songs have become popular, something she strongly approves of. 'It's interesting to hear people remix your stuff because it's your song in a totally different context," says DiLorenzo. "It's great and I love hearing how other artists interpret it."

DiLorenzo was recently seen in "Queenie Eye," Paul McCartney's new music video. "Even just being in the same room with Paul McCartney, I mean, at that point, I didn't even care about being in the video," she said. "I was just excited to be there."
