Fabulous Friend!

This is my fabulous friend and colleague, Skyler!

Most recently, he included me in a recording project for a children's book that he was producing (and performing in).

Yeah for Sapporo and Sushi!

Rockin' Cranberries!

I get to spend a lot of time at Sea World during the holidays as a singer.

This year I designed and made new costumes for the Rockin' Cranberries. Fun!






Short Bio


Leah has been singing her whole life. She grew up in a musical family and had many opportunities to sing at home, church, and school. In college, she studied vocal performance and piano at Fullerton College, Cal State Long Beach, and Eastern New Mexico University. She finished summa cum laud with a B.M. in Vocal Performance with a minor in Piano. An avid performer, Leah participated in various productions with each University, was a frequent guest soloist with jazz bands and choruses, and worked as a professional swing dancer. Trained as a coloratura soprano, her solid classical technique has allowed her to achieve success in a variety of music styles from classical, to jazz, to rock and roll. With her flexible voice, Leah continues to enjoy a wide range of music by teaching voice lessons, recording character voices, and singing with jazz groups, cover bands, Full Measure Carolers, San Diego Lyric Opera, and the Bach Collegium. She has also toured through Europe and China. Currently, you can find her in venues from St. Peter’s Cathedral to the Ritz in Del Mar, center stage at Sea World to behind the piano at the local Kindergarten. Many thanks and hugs go out to her family and friends who show continual support for her musical endeavors.
