LESHA, the emerging rock sensation of her time, has swiftly reached impressive career milestones. At the age of 26, operating as an independent singer, songwriter, and music producer, she brims with enthusiasm for her artistic journey. Notably, her image adorns a billboard in Times Square.
“I freaked out,” Lesha excitedly recounted the moment she learned about her Times Square billboard debut, calling it a dream come true.
Recently, she received two nominations for The New Hue PH awards, celebrating music video visionaries. Lesha expressed her gratitude for the recognition and praised the platform’s support for upcoming artists, uniting the OPM community.
Also recently, Lesha’s single “Ciao Bella” reached one million streams on Spotify and TikTok. This achievement reflects the song’s resonance with listeners due to its heartfelt melodies and relatable lyrics.
“I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s a huge milestone for me to finally hit my first 1M on a song. I wrote, produced, and filmed the music video for ‘Ciao, Bella’ in my bedroom during the peak of the pandemic so it’s a cool feeling to see how far I’ve come in my career, and it always reminds me of my humble beginnings,” Lesha revealed.
With so many good things coming along her way, Lesha remains optimistic about more progress career-wise for the coming days.
Likewise, Lesha continues to be a game-changer. She’s very fortunate to have worked with the best producers and writers in the world. She has learned a lot of new techniques in writing and they also created a space for Lesha to be extra experimental with the tone of her voice jumping from one genre to another.
With this, Lesha shared some of her exciting experiences when it comes to experimenting with music.
“I have a couple of favorite sessions but the most memorable one was with LA producer Dela, singer-songwriter KAJO, and James Reid when we wrote ‘Skin2Skin’ (still unreleased but I normally perform this song live cause the crowd goes crazy every single time I play this song!),” she said.
In their LA studio, Lesha and Dela collaborated on a danceable, sad pop song. With James and Kajo’s help, they finished it in three hours, recognizing its hit potential. Dela and Krizia’s visit to Manila led to more songs for Lesha’s upcoming releases.
Expect Lesha to be fiercer when it comes to her musical choices. Comparing how she has presented her music from before and now; Lesha is gearing towards a new approach.
“Personally, I think there’s a big jump from my previous works versus the ones I’m set to release in terms of the writing style and genre. As I’ve been experimenting with the Pop Punk genre, I’ve just naturally gravitated toward it the more I wrote new songs. My dark and edgy side is getting amplified with these new songs!”
See Lesha’s fiercer and more direct style when it comes to handling herself and her music in the next few days.
