three. On the theatrical stage, she is the creator of the Broadway- and West End-bound SuperYou Musical, which has played to sold-out audiences at Carnegie Hall and London’s Lyric Theatre. Her keynote experiences combine storytelling, audience participation, live singing, mindfulness, and the electrifying energy of her signature electric violin, and have taken her to the United Nations, TEDWomen, TEDYouth, Forbes Women, Microsoft’s Global Women’s Conference, and audiences around the world.

Lourds’ artistic roots are in rock and roll. As lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist of her own band, she packed clubs throughout the United States and Canada, earned rave reviews in Billboard, performed as a Billboard Underground headliner, and inspired a devoted following of fans who followed the band from city to city, singing along to her original songs. She later founded, hosted, and headlined New York City’s annual Medusa Festival, one of the city’s signature celebrations of women in rock. More than a festival, it became a community. Fans lined up out the door, artists eagerly sought a place on the bill, and Lourds intentionally cultivated a culture of mutual support where musicians arrived early, stayed late, and cheered on every performer.

That same electric energy and spirit of connection now live on through SuperYou Musical, written and composed by Lourds. The bold, genre-bending story brings together a woman’s journey to reclaim herself, iconic superhero outcasts, rock-and-roll, humor, and heart to reveal the hero within us all.

She also co-stars in the musical, originating the role of Rise, the electric violin-playing “misfit” superhero, bringing her signature electric violin, vocals, and dynamic performance style to the stage.

The music of SuperYou Musical has taken on a life of its own, resonating with audiences around the world. Lourds’ ballad “To My Angels" has become one of the most-performed contemporary musical theatre songs in senior showcases across the United States, while fans around the world continue to translate, perform, and share songs from the show. Each week, fan performances are celebrated across SuperYou Musical social media through #FanCoverFriday, an ongoing celebration of the global community that has grown around Lourds' music.

A Harvard honors graduate and master certified energy healer, Lourds has followed an unconventional path that brings together creativity, human potential, and self-discovery. Recognized for her work at the intersection of entertainment, education, and transformation, she is the recipient of the Ideagen Global Leadership Award, a finalist for the Actors’ Equity Paul Robeson Award honoring dedication to the betterment of humankind, and a two-time finalist for the Fred Ebb Award in musical theatre.

Whether she’s creating a Broadway musical, speaking on global stages, facilitating transformational experiences, or designing the future of identity transformation through AI, Lourds believes everyone has a SuperYou waiting to be awakened, because the hero you’ve been looking for has been you all along.
