A quick call can give you all you need

I had a quick call with the record label today. After this weekend of getting all my materials together, I was a bit overwhelmed. I took a look at the production schedule and felt like I was running a race and everyone had already started without me! Not wanting to start something and already be behind, I had a quick chat with the label today and heard that not only am I on target, I'm an organized, responsible, business-understanding artist. How cool was that to hear? Very cool. I took a deep breath, smiled and regained the confidence that was there all along.

I have a few more calls today and then a few more set up for the week. I'll have a much better idea of what's happening for my marketing plan, music video, touring and cd release at the end of this week.

All it took was a little call =)

It's out of my hands now...

Late last year, I joined up with a record label that is helping get Leah Jee music out to the entire world through digital distribution through the world's largest distribution company and one of the biggest media companies of all time.

Today, I finished submitting all of my artwork, song sheets, tracks, headshots, links, bios, and every other material that was required of me. It's out of my hands now friends.

In a few months, my first single from my new album "The Rest Is Ours" will be out in mp3, ringtone and music video! And a short time after, the entire cd will be available. For you, your friends, your family and 500 countries around the world. How rad is that?

It's been a very long road, but we're just getting started.

On days I question the journey, it's days like this and fans like you that smack me in the face and rejuvenate my soul for the adventure we've been on and the one that is yet to come.

Thank you and much love to you always. XOXO



The Blog: The Final Frontier

Hello friends....

I always say I'm going to work on and post to this blog, and guess what? I never do! But here we go. I don't know if you've been keeping up with all the other Leah Jee social media, but it's out there, it's updated and it's looking better than ever!

This blog is the last thing I will be updating. The website is just a splash page right now but it's got the new look. Facebook and Twitter images are looking mighty good and will be consistently updated with new pics. Just the blog remains in the days of old.

Just a quick note to you guys that a new layout and look are coming soon. And more posts from me =)

PROMISE! Check these out in the meantime:

Leah Jee's 2012 Total Wrap Up

Hello Everyone!

As I type this, I’m wrapped in a multitude of sweaters, blankets, a beanie, and actual shoes (not flip flops!) as I try and prevent hypothermia in the Midwest =) I hear that it’s colder in California today than it is here in the dead of winter and who would have ever thought that?!

It has been a very long time since I have sent an email out to you guys, and for that, I sincerely apologize. Has there been a lot going on? You betcha. Have I missed you all? You know it. Have I started my plan for musical world domination since we last talked? YES!

Here’s the skinny on what’s been happening in my life, and I’ll go back a little bit so you get the whole picture. 2012… wow, what a year. People say that there are certain years in their lives that define who they are and the direction that their lives go in, and let me tell you friends - 2012 was definitely one of those pivotal years for me in all aspects. I definitely felt the ebb and flow of life this past year. From personal to professional, it was a year of growth, heartache, adversity, challenge, love, adaptation, obstacles, travel, opportunity, and knowing that I can get through any situation with the love and support of my family, friends and fans.

2012, a year of epic highs and lows. Here’s a bit of why… At the very start of 2012, I had an accident in which I was unable to play guitar let alone move part of my left hand. EPIC LOW. After rehabilitation and physical therapy, I am top notch once again. EPIC HIGH. A few months into the year, I suffered some major heartache. EPIC LOW. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and of course as a musician, always provides great fodder for new songs. EPIC HIGH. In the middle of 2012, I finished the production of my album, which is soon to be released. EPIC HIGH. I reunited with old friends, made some great new ones, and created new professional relationships that have carried me into a wonderful spot with my music. EPIC HIGH. I traveled from CA to the Midwest several times to visit loved ones and for work at my big girl job and to play just a few killer shows and had an absolute blast each trip. EPIC HIGH. In December, I had a photoshoot with the extremely talented Kate sZatmari and had my stellar makeup/hair done by Stacy Rosas. These ladies really made it happen, the pics are great, I love them both, and I made two new great friends from it all. EPIC HIGH. With the pics done, it’s on to making the creative for my website, updated logo work, my new social media sites, my promotional materials, Leah Jee merchandise, and my album artwork done and ready for the new release of my cd! EPIC HIGH! This weekend, I’ll sit down with my graphic designer Jonathan Warobick and hash out all the details and designs so we can get this party started. SUPER EPIC HIGH!

The most major of EPIC HIGHS that I have to share with you is this…. A life long dream of mine was fulfilled in 2012…. I was signed to a label off of Universal Records for digital distribution of my music. I can officially say that I am a “signed” artist for what it’s worth =) I didn’t want to say anything until I had plans to get this record out, and soon ALL of my music will be available online, through itunes and on every single platform there is! I’ll be released at the top of my game to over 500 countries, with my music videos out on VEVO, and all other sorts of digital awesomeness available and in the mainstream eye.

2013 – you will be my year!

It’s starting off with a bang, and I wanted you all to know how much you mean to me. How your support throughout these 10 years has been amazing, and how finally I can come to you and say – see what we did together guys? Thank you thank you thank you. You believing in me has made things happen. It set things in motion and made me believe in myself. I didn’t give up because you love my music. And I promise, as I’ve been saying for years now, I’m going to use this music to make the world a better place.

If you’re free on Friday Jan 4th (yep, that’s this Friday, yep again just about 48 hours from now) I’ll be playing a show in Milwaukee at BBC. It’s an intimate acoustic show with my very good friend and quite amazingly talented musician Carley Baer. Show starts at 845 with Carley and we’ll play until about 1130-12. I’m going to be playing stuff I never play… have never played… and might never play again! Along with some old favorites and new songs from the album. I’ll be joined by Phil Malko on some songs. Cover is $5 and it includes unlimited hugs.

Thank you again for not giving up on me. I promise I won’t let you down. LEAH JEE MUSIC in 2013 baby! That’s where it’s at =)

Love to you all and best wishes for this new year. Remember – Today is the start of your life. And so is everyday, so if today sucked, tomorrow is another chance! I’ll send emails more often and tell you more about the artwork, shoot and send preview pics!

If you’d like to have my first release “All The Things I Forget To Mention” for FREE, then please join my mailing list. Click here to join! It’s my gift to you for the holidays!

Hope you all enjoyed the happiest of holidays and have the best year ever. I think it’s 2013 as a top notch year for all of us!

All my love…. XOXO Leah
