In The Artist's Words
For Leona Lewis, making a solo album was the chance to realize a dream she’s had since the tender age of 5, when her parents (father is Guyanese/mother is Welsh) enrolled her into London’s prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. Lewis then attended the performing arts academy The BRIT School, where she honed her songwriting and production skills. Encouraged by winning several talent contests as a teen, she left school and took part-time jobs ‘” including working in Pizza Hut as a waitress ‘” to earn money to pay for studio time. ‘It was about doing my music,’ she says. ‘It has always been my passion to be a singer and songwriter.’

‘I wanted to make an album that was totally me,’ Lewis says. ‘Each song is about something that either I’ve gone through or that someone around me has gone through. The lyrics reflect things that I’m really passionate about. I have to be able to put myself in the song for it to ring true to me. If it doesn’t ring true to me, it’s not going to be believable to anyone else.’

‘My love for music is my main motivation as an artist,’ she says. ‘I’ve found that you can help so many people with your songs. I’ve received a lot of letters from people saying that ‘˜Bleeding Love’ really helped them. I think if you can do that, it makes it all worth it.’
