Esther Canata (LionGale)

Today’s guest is a blast from my past. Please welcome the multi-talented Esther Canata. Esther and I went to school together. We weren’t great friends (she was a freshman when I was a senior and you know how that goes), but we did know each other. She was definitely the “artsy” one in her class. You know every class has at least one.  We reconnected several years ago through social media, which is where I discovered all the different projects she’s involved in. I also found out that she had moved to Croatia. That was a surprise!  But before Croatia, there was acting in New York City, including a rock opera at the legendary Limelight. That’s also where her music career started. She also modeled in Miami and moved out to LA to get back into acting. But music was still lurking. Esther’s done some cool projects with Michael Madsen and many others and she shares some really great stories from that time. But after a bit of a dark period for her, she stepped back and refocused. That brought her to music licensing. That was exactly what she was looking for. That can also be said about her husband. After an unconventional introduction, they fell in love and started a family. But the story only gets wilder from there. They moved to Croatia which gave Esther a reason to concentrate on her visual arts in addition to her latest musical project, Liongale. And there’s a great project on the horizon. Check her out at Liongale on Spotify, @alottacanata on Instagram, and Esther Canata on Facebook.
