Singing
Music was my first love…
I have been singing since before I could talk. My first solo performance was at 4 years old as the angel in the nativity play.
(You better believe I back-phrased the hell out of that song to make the most of my 30 seconds of fame)
From then on, singing became a huge part of my life. I sang in the school choir where I received an excellent classical foundation. At 15, I started a band with some friends. We began by covering pop and rock songs but soon started writing our own material.
At 17, I joined a second band as lead singer. This one sat in more of a hard rock, almost metal corner.
At the same time, I became the lead singer of my high school’s big band, belting out jazz and swing classics as well as funk and soul tunes.
A versatile and professionally trained singer
When I decided to go to drama school and train in musical theatre, I received formal singing lessons and have been working with various vocal coaches ever since.
Fast forward to today, I have sung on West End Stages, Cruise Lines and as a lead vocalist at Disneyland Paris.
I am now fronting a function band playing Weddings, Birthdays, Corporate Functions, Divorce Parties and any other event that needs some great live music.
Thanks to my eclectic background and professional training, I am an incredibly versatile singer with a vast repertoire.
So, whether you need a gritty rock belt, a clear musical theatre sound, a quirky jingle or a sultry jazz number, I’ve got you covered.
Have a listen to my samples and if you like what you hear, drop me a line!
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Leonie for a number of years and do not hesitate to recommend her for any performance, function or vocal gig required. Incredibly versatile and with a huge vocal repertoire, she sits comfortably across styles, accurately delivers genres, and exudes a charisma that drives performances and engages with any audience. Leonie is the consummate professional who is always on time, prepared, and never disappoints.”

This is a video of one of my favourite projects. A long-time client who I had been working with for various explainer and narration projects wanted to create a special surprise for his wife’s 60th birthday. He is a musician so he asked me if I would record one of her favourite songs with him.
He recorded his guitar part in Germany, I recorded my vocals in the UK and the below video is the result. Needless to say, his wife loved the surprise and loved learning a new song that I didn’t know before.
Have you got a singing project and need a versatile voice?
