Lorraine Lewis rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the hard rock band Femme Fatale, which she formed in 1987. After moving to Los Angeles, the band secured a recording contract with MCA Records following a well-received showcase. In 1988, Femme Fatale released their self-titled debut album, which reached No. 141 on the Billboard 200.

This new iteration signed with FnA Records, leading to the 2016 release of their second album, One More for the Road. This album notably included recordings from 1989-1990, originally intended for their never-completed follow-up to the debut. In 2019, Lewis joined the iconic all-female hard rock band Vixen, taking over as their new lead singer, succeeding Janet Gardner. She performed with Vixen for five years, contributing her distinct vocals to the band’s single ‘Red,’ which was released in 2023.

Beyond her extensive musical endeavors, Lewis expanded her portfolio into television production, serving as an Executive Producer and Creator of the reality television series ‘Ex Wives of Rock.’ The show aired on prominent platforms including Slice Network, AXS TV, and Fuse Network, showcasing her versatile capabilities in the entertainment industry. In 2024, Lewis’s departure from Vixen was announced, prompting her to confirm being fired from the band. Following this exit, Lewis swiftly announced the forthcoming reactivation of Femme Fatale in 2025. This resurgence will include new music, with the single ‘Living Like There’s No Tomorrow’ slated for release.

Throughout her career, Lewis has consistently headlined tours and provided support for major acts, maintaining a notable presence in the rock music scene and demonstrating her adaptability across diverse entertainment ventures.
