It’s no doubt why her music has already been described as “spiritually rewarding. While her earlier influences lie in pop and jazz, this chanteuse can undoubtedly cross over borders without any difficulty.
Inspired by her latest trip to India, Lea presents us ZEN VOYAGE: -an ambient music CD showcasing her soothing and velvety voice. ZEN VOYAGE features 10 sacred mantras based on Sanskrit texts each invoking its own meaning and message and her latest CD - Peace Chants:- an worldbeat kirtan CD fused with turkish and persian instruments that blends beautifully well with the lush voice of Lea's chanting mantras in sanskrit and gurmuki...
An accomplished singer/songwriter, Lea has had major song placements for the movies “Cheaper By The Dozen” and “She Drives me Crazy”, TV shows as “Dawson’s Creek”, “Party Of Five”, “Summerland”, Felicity” DVD collections,“North Shore, and many more.
In 2004, Lea won the National Songwriting Competition at the prestigious Canadian Music Week in Toronto. She was the Grand Prize winner with her song “Ugly” which was picked out of the other 11 finalists and thousands of entries throughout Canada. As a result, she released her album, “Miserably Happy” on her own label, Sweet Life Music, nationally distributed through Dep/Universal for Canada. She was also awarded the Artistic Achievement Award from Concordia Fine Arts- (the university where she studied and attained a BA in music and jazz studies.)
Lea has been performing since the age of 11 throughout Canada and abroad.

She also recorded and released an Italian jazz album (featuring Italian language standards, recorded with the Bourassa Trio in Montreal).

“chanteuse” will produce another great musical chapter.
