About Me

..
Leontré Feyona Roberts, better known as Codi was born on the 27th of September 1988 to Dennis and Evette Roberts. She grew up in the town of Santa Cruz with her parents and younger brother Owen. She attended the Santa Cruz Preparatory School, which she started at age two and then matriculated to the Hampton School for girls where she attended forms one through to lower sixth. Since birth, Leontré attended the ‘Rocky Hill Bible Truth Church of God’. At the tender age of five she started singing and writing poems and songs and led her first choir performance in church at age seven. She has, since then, been completely sold out to music. It was at Hampton School that Leontré developed her singing and writing abilities. She was a member of the Hampton Day Girl Choir which she directed in her fifth form year. She was a contestant in the Miss Jamaica World Western 2006 beauty pageant where she was placed 4th, and awarded best figure and skin tone, she then went on to Miss Jamaica World where she was placed in the top ten and curently holds the title of Miss Jamaica Talent. Leontré enjoys dancing, reading, writing poems, songs and short stories, swimming, kickboxing, painting and singing her heart out. One can tell from her choice of activities that she enjoys curving, manipulating, joining; whether it be words, paint, a pencil, her voice or body to make even the simplest expressions. She is very passionate as one would note from her lyrics or stanzas in various songs or poems, respectively that she outpours. Her passion lies mostly in her country as she reflects what she sees or hears on the news or in and around her environment. The music industry is one that has always peaked her interests for the mere fact that she could make her hobby and passion her career. Her high level of confidence is one that you can either love and admire or totally detest. She is proud to admit she is her biggest critic, finding her faults before others and rarely values or acknowledge pessimistic or hateful comments or gestures from anyone. Codi can be comfortable in any positive environment, she loves to laugh, learn and make a difference, so any setting that permits this, is one for her. In a nutshell, Leontré Roberts is a strong, level-headed, kind, passionate and realistic individual who realizes she can make a difference in her emotionally battered yet beautiful country, and will if given a chance to make a contribution to the land and people she loves through her medium of choice, music, a language that knows no boundaries or state lines.

Influences: Leontre is influenced mainly by India Irie, Tanya Stevens and Lauren Hill. She admires artists such as “Assassin” for his musical maturity at such a relatively early stage in his career, which is at a level that some labour for decades to attain, “Beenie Man,” for his flavour and diversity, “Toots Hilbert” and “Beres Hammond” for their ever uplifting lyrics and rhythms, and their unique voice and styles. Among her favourites is the amazing “Marley” duo, “Damion” and “Bob,” simply Fantastic, and she also likes the sound of the New and upcoming “Tessanne Chin,” who she believes is adding a new taste to the melting pot of cultures, countries and communities, race and gender; music. ..
