In true country fashion, Leesa's family would sit around playing music and singing. Leesa sang quite often and developed a love and appreciation for music and singing at an early age, and even sang on the local radio station. "If we weren't playing or singing", adds Jordan, "Then we constantly had music playing on the radio". During her years in Texas, Jordan used to perform accapella concerts for the neighborhood kids. "I never knew fear", says Jordan, "I only did what I loved to do, sing".Through the years, Leesa Jordan continued to sing and became a featured soloist in her church choir, where she was very involved in singing out at local and surrounding events in the central California area and beyond.After coming to Nashville in 1997 to pursue a musical career, Leesa Jordan penned Christian tunes that were recorded by, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Colorado Mass Choir, Jana Long (Avalon), Kelli Williams, Image, Chris Willis, Disneys Christmas Lullabies and more.Jordan also performed on a number of Christian albums, including, Colorado Mass Choir, Praise In His Presence, With This Ring, With This Ring...Forever I Do, Joyful Noize and Songs For The Soul, to name a few.
