Artist History A desire to use her voice like an instrument, embracing the styles of Jazz, Blues, Pop and Classical, is what has led New Orleans born Leslie Clemmons to a versatile and successful music career. When she was all of two years old, Leslie began mimicking every sound she would hear on the radio, television, or movie musicals. Although her family exposed her to Ballet, Jazz, Tap, acting and guitar lessons, a routine normal for most talented children, her passion always led her back to singing. After growing up listening to artists from Pop, Rock, Jazz & R& B, she went to college on a vocal scholarship and was told she should study classical voice as a part of her voice performance major at the University of South Alabama. Soon, a love for musical theatre led her to study at California State University at Fullerton and The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. It was at this point in her life when she began carving out a musical theatre career for herself performing in such shows as West Side Story, Sunday in the Park with George, The Sound of Music, and the National Tour of Les Miserables. It was not long after leaving Les Miz that Leslie met and fell in love with her husband, Record Producer, Rod Clemmons. Her relationship with Rod led her to rediscover her original love of pop and rock music. After writing many songs together and with Rod at the helm as producer, Leslie has completed her debut album, “Stop The World”. With Leslie’s skillfully crafted and sometimes in your face lyrics and melodies, and the honest , pure, earthy, and straight forward tracks that are her producer husband’s trademarks, “Stop The World” is a not to be missed first offering of Leslie Clemmons.

Now with 'The Blind Lead The Blind' you'll really get acquainted with Leslie Clemmons. This one's got a real nice pop vibe with a very catchy. The right choice for a second single." -FMQB Magazine " I recently had the pleasure of booking Leslie Clemmons at Le Bar Bat in New York City. Leslie's performance was electrifying. Her band was tight, yet loose, but the most impressive thing was the way Leslie was able to hold the crowd of over 300 people. When the show was over, people were still begging for more. As a booking agent/club owner, you can't ask for more. -Pete Fogel Booking Agent Le Bar Bat
