Born in Toronto Canada, singer Leah Salomaa has been a core artist with Jeans 'n Classics for 7 years. Leah is trained in classical voice and violin. Her career began early as a child actor/singer/dancer for film, television and theatre. As a teen, she traveled to Scotland and started to focus on Celtic folk music.
Leah has blended her classical and Celtic music backgrounds to specialize in an ethereal sound that has often been captured in film/television soundtracks, and music that calls for haunting, ageless qualities. Her voice can be heard featured on numerous soundtracks including the popular CTV/CBC TV series “Flashpoint” (Gemini-nominated score). Other soundtracks include: “Relic Hunter” (TV-regular feature vocalist), “Jane and the Dragon” (animation), and “The Marsh” (feature film).
Leah is also a composer, and has vocalized and scored for documentary film (“Happy Birthday”), live theatre (Dora award winning production of “Patience”), short film (“Alterpiece”) and modern dance (“Under Her Heart”).
Leah's own CDs blend her original pop compositions and Celtic/ethereal vocal leanings. She is also well known as a voice coach, children's music teacher, performer, and women's song circle leader. She has released three recordings for families called “I Like to Rise”, “Father Sun, Mother Moon”, and “Under a Winter Star”. Visit Leah and find her music at www.leahsalomaa.com
