About this user
An American girl from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa wandered into the Dutch countryside. It took some time for Kayleigh Leith to get used to the country life after living in New York, but she adapted while remaining true to herself and wrote a record that combines her American roots and new surroundings in a very intriguing way. In line with Jewel and Lady Antebellum, Kayleigh delivers intimate pop songs and beautiful country arrangements combined with an engaging personality and a perfectly painted picture of emotion she creates in every song.
While studying music and theater in Las Vegas, Kayleigh learned the hard laws of show business; hard work, persistence and the humble attitude needed with all the ups and downs that occur in this business but through it all, Kayleigh made sure never backed down! Back in Clarion, PA, Kayleigh was forced to support herself by playing acoustically on a daily basis. This experience formed her as a musician but also a discovery about whom and what she wanted to be. When love took her to the Netherlands, Kayleigh had to find a day job to support herself, but spent every free minute she had on her songs. With that same determination she saved up money for several years until she finally had enough to go and record her songs in Nashville and New York.
In the spring of 2011 the final touches were put on the record and a band was formed that help her deliver the songs live. The distinctive voice of Kayleigh carries the band, while typical American instruments like violin en mandolin provide an elegant accompaniment. Songs like 'Run Without You', 'Stand Up Straight' and 'Miles Away' have the potential to capture a wide audience, especially with recent success by acts like Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum. Furthermore, Kayleigh knows how to win over a crowd with her beautiful voice and her charming American accent when speaking Dutch to the audience between her songs.
The first single of her debut album will be released this October followed by the album later this year. Also, this fall Kayleigh will embark on a tour through the Netherlands with her brand new band.
