Back in 2009, Lana once was part of a girls group called No Means Yes (dont ask) that was signed to R&B superstar Ne-Yos record label. The name sounds like something Prince would have called a girls band that he played all the instruments for in the 80s. They have song titles called Would You Like That? Burn Rubber, and 7 Years Bad Luck. Their bio described them as, An Asian rocker/rapper, an Indian Soul Singer, a Russian breaker/ballerina (assumed to be Lana) and a Jamaican pop princess forming the new voice of change and female empowerment, while striving for excellence and success through music. Her dance background helped get her in the group. Lana once said I remember them saying we can work with her tone because she has the right look and she break dances. In that case she was hardly the first talented dancer with questionable vocals in the history of female pop music. The group disbanded in 2010, but she was able to turn her time in the group into another opportunity.
