​"Being dyslexic, I find it easier to tell stories through music rather than relying on a lot of lyrics. My neurodiversity shapes my love for the repetition in electronic music, and I’m drawn to the huge, dreamy sounds of synths and vocals—it’s how I can express emotions and stories in a way that just feels right for me.​​​" - LNA​

​

LNA performs in various ways, including both DJing and hybrid DJing, as well as chill electronic sets with live looping. In her performances, she incorporates violin alongside synths and electronic instruments, and in more downtempo sets, she sings her vocals live.
