Described by Simon Cowell as "one of the best female singers to ever come out of the country", Leona's powerful singing voice and "terrific" looks has fascinated and gripped the music industry since winning ITV talent show 'The X-Factor' in 2006. The 22-year-old has had us waiting around for her next stunning vocal range and incredible performance for almost a year, but after watching the video for her new single 'Bleeding Love' on the box, taken from her new highly-anticipated album 'Spirit', she has proven her dream career is set for ultimate domination with full force.
Having been repeatedly told she is hailed as singing sensations of all time such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera - a comparison Leona says is "an amazing compliment". There is no doubt this green-eyed curly-haired songstress with a fresh R'n'B/Pop sound combined with her new-fangled glamorous makeover image, will allow her to achieve more than what she could have possibly dreamed of. Judge Simon Cowell, whom is now Leona's manager, has seemingly fallen head over heels for 22-year-old Londoner. He never doubted her "international" talent.
Leona Louise Lewis, born on April 3, 1985 grew up in the Islington area of London, and is the middle child of three. Her dad Joe is Afro-Caribbean and works as a youth offending officer. Her mum, Marie, is a social worker. Leona went to Ambler Primary School in Finsbury Park, but had always wanted to get in to music and so was sent to the Sylvia Young Theatre School at the tender age of five. She wrote her first song when she was just 12 and won the Lady D under-18 talent show at the Hackney Empire the following year. She also attended the Italia Conti performing arts academy and the Brits Academy. After leaving school, Leona earned her money to pay for studio time by working as a receptionist and as a waitress in Pizza Hut to record her own demo album called 'Twilight', but was never released.
It was the work of Leona's current boyfriend, childhood sweetheart, Lou-Al-Chamaa who made all of this possible for Leona, who had no idea Lou had sent off an X-Factor application form for her. The couple have known each other since they were nine and grew up on the same street.
Leona Lewis is nothing like the pop divas we have today; she is shy and emits a natural glow of unforced beauty. She managed to escape the snooping eyes of the media and record her LP in Los Angeles. She didn't follow the footsteps of other past X-Factor winners who rushed to record their album and then who embarrassingly crumbled in the sales chart. She wisely took her time in LA on producing her album 'Spirit', which is to be released on November 5.
Her career highlight was when her debut single, a cover song from Kelly Clarkson, 'A Moment Like This' became last year's Christmas No 1 and the biggest downloaded single of 2006.
Her career, which has sky-rocketed within literally a click of the remote control, can only get better. 2008 will no doubt bring out even more of her beautiful voice.
