Léna Lozano engaged with research through an ethnomusicological perspective, dedicating her masters’ thesis to the study of the lever harp within the Scottish and American musical scenes. She then received her PHD in Performing Arts in 2021 from the University of Western Brittany, for her research upon the legal and social concerns behind amateur, pro-am and professional performers. Now acting as a research officer at Live DMA, she investigates the roles of live music over artistic career development, explores programming practices in music venues and clubs and undertakes data collection about European Music Festivals.
