About
“This is a continuous process of shedding skin…rebuilding and moving forward” says singer Leiana of her most recent release “Lucky Number Three.”
With a new producer Eddie Wohl (Anthrax, Dry Kill Logic, Ill Nino, 36 Crazyfists, , Primer 55, E-Town Concrete) and new record label (FOF/EMI) for her third album and major label debut, the DIY spirit of Leiana is still alive and definitely still kicking .
The Philadelphia-based artist has a rapidly growing fan base in the rock, hardcore and punk worlds. With two self-produced and self-released studio albums, as well as stateside and overseas touring under her belt, Leiana is proof that talent, inspiration, and hard work are still the most important things you need to make good music.
With the help of heavyweights Rob Caggiano(Anthrax) and Sean Danielson (Smile Empty Soul), Brett Scallions (Fuel, the Doors), John Tempesta and Ken Schalk(Candiria), Leiana is sure to make her mark in the rock world.
”What I did with Eddie, Sean and Rob was take the sound that I had already, and expand it further…writing with new and different people really pushed me to trust my instincts and grow. ..Eddie (Wohl) was really solid on helping me make the album I have always wanted to make: part rock, park punk, edgy, and tough, but with unyielding tenacity”.
Her strong spirit of survival helped throughout a troubled suburban childhood that included the loss of a brother, where music had actually been her saving grace. She began playing piano and drums as a kid, but soon took up writing and harbored a desire to sing. Although Ivy League educated, it took a number of years before she could overcome her fears and get up the nerve to actually perform. ”There is definitely a difference between knowledge...book smarts and wisdom gained from experience”. She cut her chops in standard rock cover bands, but was personally inspired by ‘70’s British punk and ‘80s SoCal hardcore. “These bands spoke to me. As time went on and pop music got more and more horrible, I would dive deeper into a particular scene from the past.”

“I feel that everyone that is involved with me now… from my management to my vocal coach (Melissa Cross), is so instrumental in making me grow…everyone wants a kick ass rocker chick that makes kick ass music…no drugs, no drama, no bullshit”.Enough said. At least we can trust that it’s real.
