U.S. singer and songwriter Priscilla Ahn will perform her “La La La” concert in May.

    After years of performing at open-mic nights, Ahn played a show in New York City for Blue Note Records and was signed to the label. Ahn released her debut album “A Good Day” on EMI’s Blue Note Records in 2008. The following June, Ahn went on a national tour. It included musical contributions by keyboardists Greg Kurstin, Keefus Ciancia, Larry Goldings, guitarist Mike Andrews, cellist and string arranger Oliver Kraus and singers Jim Gilstrap and Orin Waters.

    Ahn’s other albums include “When You Grow Up” and “This Is Where We Are.” She has toured internationally, including tours in Japan and South Korea.

    Ahn has contributed vocals to the albums “Supply and Demand,” “Mission Bell” and “Kaleidoscope.” She was selected as Artist of the Week in Paste magazine in June 2008.

    Ahn’s songs have appeared on the television shows “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Knight Rider,” “Make It Or Break It,” “Married Single Other,” several episodes of “The Ghost Whisperer,” and in the films “Disturbia,” “Bride Wars,” “Love Happens,” “My Sister’s Keeper,” “Free Willy: Escape From Pirate’s Cove” and “Moms’ Night Out.”
