From being Miss Langston University to sharing the stage with legendary gospel singer Dorothy Norwood, gospel artist Leah Joelle is blessed to have accomplished a lot. Since birth, Leah Joelle Hendricks' desire has been to uplift on goers through spiritual songs, which is exemplified through the scripture Psalm 37:4 – "His desire: My delight". The 25-year-old delights fans with her God-given singing ability and while not yet a household name, she is a seasoned performer. Leah has performed at venues alongside well-known gospel singers such as Mary Mary, Vanessa Bell-Armstrong, Rodney Bryant, Timothy Wright, Myron Butler and Vashon Mitchell. The spotlight shined on the young up-and-coming vocalist in 2007 after she completed “Use Me Lord,” her debut CD. With Godly inspiration and expertise from master musicians, she believes the project is memorable. Her follow up album "A New Day," is slated for a Spring 2008 release. Leah Joelle resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she began perfecting her singing and songwriting talents. Making strides through the gospel industry, the Illinois native also became a background singer for the band NuWorld Soul. Leah was an Early Childhood Education major at Langston University (Oklahoma) before earning a Bachelor's degree in 2004. She recently received a Master’s degree in Curriculum Leadership from Oklahoma State University in 2007. She received extensive vocal training as a member of the institution’s world-renown choir and traveling concert chorale. In 2002, Leah Joelle was crowned Miss Langston University. The crowning jump-started her career and led to a whirlwind of statewide and regional notoriety, which generated several singing invitations nationwide. Her accomplishments also landed her a feature in Ebony Magazine's April 2003 edition. Leah then competed in the prestigious and competitive Miss Oklahoma Scholarship Pageant, where she won the talent award after wowing the audience and judges with her rendition of “And I’m Telling You.” Leah Joelle believes music is a universal language that sparks emotions, inspires, heals and changes the lives of people. She has a unique and original sound and credits vocal trailblazers Kim Burrell, the Clark Sisters, and R&B singer Beyoncé for influencing her musical style. More importantly, Leah Joelle gives her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Glory for her gift.
