Leorah

I'm a passionate singer, songwriter with roots that stretch from Italy to Switzerland, calling Frankfurt, Germany home.

As a pastor’s kid, I had the privilege of starting to sing at church at a very young age. I grew up with the timeless hymns, soulful gospel and the temporary sounds of worship music. Growing up, hip hop, rap, and r’n’b has guided me through the years as a teenager. And when I performed, it would be - for sure - one of the beautiful 90ies ballads.

My music is definitely influenced by all the places I’ve visited and countries I have lived in. With 16, I moved to Monterrey, Mexico, where I had the opportunity of singing in a church of 2000 people and meeting amazing talents from all over the country. After 3 months, I moved to Ciudad Victoria. There, I was part of a musical ensemble from a private music school. I was able to record some songs in Spanish for government elections, was part of studio productions, and even toured with a local artist. I also wrote my first song there and got it produced by a studio in Aguascalientes.

With 21, I moved to Mobile, Alabama to study vocal performance at a private university. I was part of a choir of 300 people and we performed in live TV music productions with an orchestra. With classical singing lessons, I had to expand my musical knowledge and learned more about the beauty of Jazz music. Traveling around the southern states of USA, I tasted the raunchy blues sounds of New Orleans, Louisiana, and I fell deeply in love with the blend of the timeless music of the 50s and 60s - Blues, Soul, and Jazz.

Coming back to Germany, I studied a few courses in digital music production, and film making. The goal was to be able to create my own music, and music videos. Instead of learning how to work the camera, I quickly stood in front of it. I found a new passion in acting and started to pursue projects as an actress. Being able to produce films gave me a new outlet for my creativity, and all the tools I need to make my visions come alive.

Today, I’m working on my own music and I’m constantly inspired by the origins of music, drawing from the deep emotional connection and raw energy that all of these genres embody.

Though my influences are classic, my journey is all about creating something new and personal. Every note I sing and every song I write is an exploration of my own voice, and a story of my life written down in song. 

I am blending the nostalgia of the past with the creativity of the present.
