about

Leah Orlikowski is a Acoustic Guitarist/Vocalist/Songwriter from Conifer, CO, United States in 2006. Leah's vocals have bluesy tendencies, strong and steady with a bit of softness, clear with a bit of smoke.

I started singing with my dad when I was about 12 at parties for our friends and found my voice and confidence this way. Throughout high school I sang in choir and musicals but didn't begin playing an instrument until I was 18. For my 18th birthday, my Uncle Phil (my dad's brother) made me my first guitar. Along with my voice, this guitar would serve as the vehicle for the musical adventures to come. I continued to practice and write, working odd jobs at first and then finally a series of short lived waiting jobs to make the bills. I always felt as if i didn't have time for music, coming home from work feeling creatively bereft and knowing that the love of my life (music) was being stifled. After being layed off
