Biography

Leona Louise Lewis was born in London, April 3, 1985, to the family of Afro-British descent. She was fond of music since the early childhood years, and her parents did not spare significant sums to pay for her studying at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. The girl mastered choreography, stage acting and singing there. At 12, Leona wrote her first song and soon won her first talent competition for artists under 18. This victory gave her the final confidence in her artistic future as she chose the way to the music stage. She perfected her skills at the BRIT School before receiving an offer from the USA producers. She started with doing covers of celebrated songs and impressed the managers of Sony as a singer with perfect voice and ear for music. Aged 19, she won Yates's Wannabe Talent Contest with the song Always Be My Baby. She captivated the jury and the spectators with brilliant singer’s talent, artistry and personal magnetism. Still, triumphs at such events did not find her good contracts. Leona had to record the demo of her own material to show what she really was.
