"The name is LEANNE PARIS Get used to it"
Putting a respectful modern edge onto a classy and classic soul sound that soars between fresh, fun and funky, and passionately heart-melting, Sydney-based singer/songwriter Leanne Paris is rapidly staking her claim as one of this country’s leading musical lights. Sassy, sultry and smooth, with an unrivalled groove to everything she points her Fender Rhodes piano at, Leanne’s self-titled debut EP refines her impeccable live reputation, but its only the tip of an impressive iceberg for what this genuine talent has to offer

Backed by a tight eight-piece band, the in-demand performer can lead the charge through a thrilling range of styles - proving her undeniable chops on anything from smoky, emotional ballads and gritty blues to upbeat acid jazz and captivating funk workouts, all enhanced by an innate sense of melody and world-class delivery. With a uniquely individual feel and a versatile voice that drifts and ducks like a summer cloud before backing up Leanne's musical bark with a raspy bite, the soul queen recalls the true musical greats without ever falling into blind, Idol-esque imitation. Her inspiration may lay with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Jimmy Smith, Dr John and the Brand New Heavies, but Leanne Paris is boldly forging her own musical path. And it’s a path that’s a joy to walk down. |

Music is such a part of our emotional makeup - it can make you patriotic, it can make you want to fight, it can make you want to cry" Reproduced with the kind permission of Jimmy Barnes from his book Say It Loud |
