Her parents, both skilled musicians, nurtured her budding talent, leading her to discover her true passion for singing. Her voice, rich and soulful, became her instrument, echoing the deep emotional resonance of the jazz legends she admired.

Finding Her Harmony in Yacht Rock

While Cam delved into the strings of his guitar, Leona explored the vast realm of vocal harmony. She honed her skills, blending the intricate nuances of jazz with the smooth, laid-back essence of ’70s yacht rock bands. In these genres, Leona found her unique voice – one that could tell stories and evoke emotions with each note.
