..Leonnie, born Haitian American in New Rochelle, N.Y, on June 24, 1987. She has always had a passion for singing. "My earliest memory of carrying a tune was in the first grade to my father, while my teacher played the piano. It was then I that I wanted to sing."Though she was a little shy, she tried to sing at all the school functions, until she moved to Altamonte Springs, FL, where she joined her high school choir, and also joined the step team. Though she was not too fond of the choir, she continued to sing, in hopes of something bigger.After her sophmore year in high school, she was told about a Performing Arts School about an hour away from where she lived and decided "hey, why not?" She auditioned and was accepted, and thats when her new life began. She was surrounded by musically gifted people who shared her same interest, and the best music teacher she's ever had. Attending this school allowed her love for classical and opera music to grow, but she still had a passion for R&B and Gospel.She auditioned for everything that came her way, and if she didn't win, she came in a tight second. She recieved a "Superior" rating at Solo and Ensemble ( A State-Wide school "competition" ) for her performance of "Follow the Drinking Gourd" and Se Tu Ma'Mi ("If you love me" in Italian).After graduation, She moved down south to Boynton Beach, FL to study Psycology at Palm Beach Community College, then to transfer to Florida International University to study Social Work and Vocal Performance.
"I wish to become a well known recording artist, but I also would like to have a degree to back me up" because you never know where life can lead you"."I hope to be able to inspire many people through my songs and story, and will not stop until my goal is reached."Remember Her name..... LEONNIE
