LeeLee is a talented young musician who knows how to bring it to a video!
When working with AZ studios on her Boom Bada video (which currently boasts over 34,000 views on VEVO) she couldn’t help but shine on camera in her own tough-yet-sexy sort of way. Her voice is sweet to the ears and the production behind her is sure to get any club up and jumping.
After a little research I found out that this interesting lady started out singing in church! She then went on to be top of her class at the world-renowned performance art academy she attended in her youth. More recently she’s worked with artists like Baby Bash and Jimmy Klev! I knew there was more than met the eye with this girl, so I coordinated an interview to find out what makes her tick.
Q: What originally got you into music and how long have you been making it?
LEELEE: I stumbled on it somewhere between church and school. I guess you can say I’ve been making it ever since I could get my heart broken (in middle school).
Q: Where is your hometown?
LEELEE: I like to think I have two. I grew up in Santa Monica, California; and beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada.
Q: Who are your main musical influences?
Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and anyone else who’s doing what they love day in and day out while still keeping it exciting. Beyonce works amazingly hard, Rihanna is sexy and fun, and Lady Gaga has turned her music into art. I want all these things to rub off on me in my career. (The talent not the ladies. Haha!)
Q: Who or what has influenced your life to take on this highly competitive career?
LEELEE: All the people who believe in me! That, and the fact that I am in love with what I do! To me it’s a no brainer, it’s just what I do.
Q:What problems have you run into in your musical career?
LEELEE: Not many, but the game is hard. I have to constantly remind myself that I can do it—motivate myself. Like most people, I want to make my family proud and do well. But the one thing I’ve had to learn along the way is that in this business you have to take the good with the bad. Not everyone will like what you do or create. I just try and remind myself that I’m doing the right thing in my heart, even if some people don’t agree. Like my beloved Mark says: “You don’t want to look back and think ‘I should have tried’.”
Q: Where have you triumphed in your career?
LEELEE: My greatest triumph is and will always be my music, which is a direct representation of me. I’m very proud of what it has allowed me to achieve and where it has taken my life. I also feel I triumph every time I influence the people listening to my music to dance, or cry, along with me. I love my fans more than they love me.
Q: What motivates you?
LEELEE: My family, my fans, and my heart.
Q: What are you planning for the future?
LEELEE: I plan to grow and change with every piece of music I put out. I want to be a work of art, just like my music. And most of all I want to have fun. So…I guess what I’m trying to say is: some amazing surprises are in store! So stay tuned!
I can honestly say that everyone here at AZ can’t wait to see what she does next.
