About

Lanie Brice is a writer currently residing in Dublin, Ireland, where she is a student at Trinity College Dublin in the M.Phil in Creative Writing program. She primarily writes fiction with a number of published short stories—including in Granite, a forthcoming literary journal helmed by Téa Obreht—and is working on a novel.

Additionally, she has written articles for her hometown lifestyle magazine, JH Style, for their summer and winter issues and written multiple articles for the Observer about books. She also regularly writes for her own newsletter, Lanie Land.

Lanie is a recent graduate of USC’s Bachelors of Science in Music Industry program at the Thornton School of Music. This unique program blends curriculum focused on the music business including marketing, data, live events, and the streaming landscape with coursework in the Marshall School of Business as well as Thornton classes on music production and creation. During her time in the program, Lanie focused on fandom, internet culture, and media’s impact within the pop music landscape while running the campus lifestyle blog, Trojans360, and managing a staff of student bloggers. 

At 14, she started her first blog, Reading, Writing, and Me, where she continues to publish book reviews across literary fiction and nonfiction, author interviews, and chatty posts updating her readers on her reading and writing life.

In November of 2019, Lanie founded Music, Musings, and Me as a sister-site to the book blog. The online zine grew quickly and was rebranded as Musings Zine as she posted concert reviews, song and album reviews, listicles, and, eventually, profiles with artists including James Bay, Lauv, Em Beihold, Emei, and Renforshort. In May of 2023, she decided to migrate and publish a static archive of Musings Zine and translate her efforts into her general lifestyle and culture newsletter, Lanie Land. Her music writing has also been published in Luna Collective where she was a contributor in 2021. 

Having always been fascinated with internet platforms and creation, she started a YouTube channel in the summer of 2020 that offered vlogs, music, and book videos and published over 240 videos over the next three years. After a lengthy break, she’s recently started creating videos again documenting her time in Dublin.

Lanie has also worked as a social media assistant for an independent music artist and interned at the Pop Pantheon Podcast gaining experience in podcast editing with Ableton and all elements of podcast production and promotion as well as at the world’s best whitewater rafting company, Dave Hansen Whitewater.
