Biography

Leslie Feist, who creates and performs under the name of Feist, was born in a Canadian city Amherst, Nova Scotia. Both her parents were artists and their marriage, as it often happens in the artistic circles, did not last long. So soon after her birth, Leslie and her elder brother Ben were taken by their mother to grandparents in Saskatchewan and later - to Calgary, Alberta. The girl dreamt of becoming a writer, but spent the major part of her free time singing in a local church choir. At the age of 12, Leslie became one of the 1000 dancers, performing at the opening of the Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. Later this amusing experience became the inspiration for her hit 1234. When Leslie became 15, she organized a punk band Placebo (should not be confused with the British rock band Placebo) and became its author and singer, performing under the name of Feist. In 1993, the collective won at a competition for the right to perform with the rockers Ramones at the Infest festival. During this event, Feist became acquainted to Brandon Canning and Kevin Drew, who would later perform with her.
