Artist History Leah Eileen Knight recorded her first record when she was eight years old. Encouraged by the airplay it received, she continues recording until, at the age of fourteen, she was offered a major country music recording contract. After much thought she decided the offer, deciding instead to persue a music format more challenging to her angelic voice, and her true love: opera. Along the way, she has received international airplay, sang in person for George H. Bush, opened for Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, as well as other celebrated performers and orators. This is her first operatic album and she wants to know what the world thinks so far.She is currently trying to raise money for an educational trip to Austria this summer to perform in a production of _Die Zauberflote_ and two Motzart masses, under the supervision of Metropolitan Opera's William Lewis.
