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

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

Getting Involved... Here's to the fight against autism!
I am participating in THIS Saturday here in Hollywood, CA. It's a red carpet event that benefits the fight against Autism.

There's everything from Latin & Persian dance pop to country western and all in between with Leah Jee in the mix.

Leah Jee Lyrics Make Excellent Tattoos
I'm smiling so big right now. And you all know how I love smiling, it's my favorite. Two of my friends and huge Leah Jee fans went this weekend and got Leah Jee lyric tattoos! Nikki and Kelley both tatted their rib cages with lyrics from my original song "Hero In Me" and they look fantastic!
I feel so accomplished and really accredited. When someone adorns their body with something that you've written because it means that much to them... whew, let me tell ya, I'm pretty proud and honored right now. Thanks ladies! You kicked Leah Jee music up to an entirely new level!

KTLA Morning News Shake Weight Segments
I had the privilege and butt-kicking work out opportunity to join Shawnee Harkins at the Hollywood Boxing Gym in Hollywood, CA on Friday May 6th. KTLA Morning News Anchor Allie MacKay was there filming on location to get a sneak peak of Shawnee's new Shake Weight class. We did live filming, teasers and about 4 minute segments on the 5, 6, 7am hour and then another for the 1pm hour. Great class, hard workout. If you're up for a challenge, check out Shawnee's class at Hollywood Boxing Gym or any of her workout routines online.

Wrapping up the Cleanse Diet
Ok so I skipped a bunch of day and a bunch of entries. But you'll be happy to know that the 30 day diet is almost at its end. Just a few hours to go and I'm done! I made it through the 30 days following the complete diet rules, drinking the cleanse shake for 2 weeks and ridding my body of all the harsh toxins that it was holding on to. Honestly, I feel pretty good! This diet and cleanse was more a test of will power and being able to say that "Yes, in fact, I can go without that." There are a few things I'd like to add back in my diet but all in moderation. There are definite changes that I am going to make. It all starts with back at home - when we are home, things will be as fresh as possible. I'm going to continue making fresh salsas, soup stock and beans. Less processed, less preservatives. I'm also sticking with the gluten free rice and pastas as much as possible. I feel 100 times better without the gluten. A lot of your favorite brands are gluten and casein free. I got used to checking things from the internet on my phone while at the market to see what was gluten free, and you'd be surprised how much is available.
I've been thinking about what foods I'd really like to be eating. Candy? Ice cream? A Steak? The only things I really miss have been pizza (craving it on and off for 2 weeks), soy sauce/sugar for asian cooking and certain starches. I don't want to live a life without starch =) Being bread free for over a month now, I can say that sandwiches are good once in a while but I don't have to have them everyday.
I'm looking forward to being able to choose when I eat things, being cognizant of what I'm putting into my body and not feeling like I might want it because I can't have it.
So tomorrow is the big day to wrap it all up and start introducing foods back into my diet. I'm going to lunch with my grandma so that will be a nice introduction. 30+ days without eating out is a crazy thing for me! =)

Indie Film Music News
I got some great news this afternoon that I will be writing and performing some new music for an upcoming Indie film due to start shooting in June/July. My song will be featured in the movie and I will be filmed performing it for the film, which is in association with the Blink Campaign. I've been a part of the Blink Campaign for the last few months, and I am gearing up help the campaign spread HIV/AIDS awareness across the nation. More details soon!
Shake Weight Kickoff Campaign
This past weekend, I traveled to Palm Springs, CA to participate in the official kickoff of the new Shake Weight fitness campaign led by my friend and celebrity trainer Shawnee Harkins. The premiere was held at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs during Dinah Shore weekend. Shawnee has created an entire fitness class using the Shake Weight, and let me tell you, it was a great workout! I took her class this weekend and helped in the filming - which will be on Exercisetv and the Here network. I was interviewed by Shawnee on camera and my music was played after the demonstration. I ended up meeting a bunch of awesome people, making new fans, handing out a lot of free merch and even taking pics with fans and signing a few autographs! It was great to be a part of the Shake Weight kickoff and I'm looking forward to working with Shake Weight and Shawnee Harkins much more in the future.
Cleanse.15
Last day of the cleanse! With all the craziness that has been going on, I haven't blogged! What the heck!
Since we last talked, I've been a responsible adult doing my taxes, been a rocker chick playing a show at House of Blues on Sunset Saturday night, an exercise enthusiast participating in my fabulous trainer friend Shawnee Harkins' Shake Weight class and filming, a promoting fool giving out free cds and merch at Dinah Shore after the Shake Weight class, and a very happy person seeing so many old friends and making some new ones this weekend!
Today is our last day drinking the cleanse. So far, I have lost a little bit of weight and I'm feeling better. I remember the first sip of the mix drink and thinking to myself "Oh God, another 59 to go!" But here we are at the end of it, and I think I'm going to actually miss it. Each day it made me feel great knowing I was consuming something very healthy and helping my body. Now I'll have to include the dietary changes that this cleanse and diet have brought about.
I still have 2 weeks of the diet to go, and today the restrictions kick up a notch. More things to add to the list of no-nos. But I don't drink coffee and I'm already not consuming processed foods so it shouldn't be that hard. I will miss sugar, but for the last week I've only had evaporated cane sugar once! So I think I'm in good shape for this week.
Dani and I are getting ready to play at KTK's wedding. We have a few weeks to really polish up the tunes, we have 8 songs to work on for wedding perfection. It's cool to be able to take the songs and work on them a bit to change them. I'm looking forward to working with Dani on these songs. Each time we play it gets easier and we learn more about eachother's styles.
I'll write more about the cleanse and all the recent Leah Jee music developments soon!

Cleanse.6-8
Hey! I got so wrapped up in taxes that I didn't blog! Bad Leah!
Today makes one full week since we have started our cleanse. We have one week to go until we are done with our cleanse drink and then 2 weeks of diet to complete til we are totally done.
Man! It wasn't hard until today. I wasn't prepared for the new diet restrictions. I will definitely be going to the market on my lunch break to get something I can whip up and after work to stock up on supplies. Gluten, dairy and processed foods free is definitely a challenge.
I've been feeling really exhausted. Just plain old tired. I'm not doing anything that's extremely exerting. I think it must be my body detoxing and adjusting to the dietary/nutrition changes. I eat pretty well most of the time so it wasn't so much of a change. Fresh fruits, veggies and meats... not many processed things. But the things like "Fresh" minced garlic, ginger and basil that I have in my fridge are still processed foods (I think). I also use canned veggies often and that's off limits.
This week definitely kicks it up a notch! I'll keep writing about it to let you know how it's going. For more info on the person who's behind this cleansing kick, check out: http://shawneeharkins.com/
We received a very, very awesome compliment today. I posted on the GoGirls facebook site that we are playing at the House of Blues on 4/2. And Madalyn, the CEO & Founder, wrote this:
"Hey everyone in the LA area, go see Leah Jee. She and her band rock! They played our GoGirls @ SXSW and I was Wow'd. If I didn't live so far away (in TX), I would be there."
SOOOO AWESOME! What an amazing compliment! For more info about GoGirls, check out: http://www.gogirlsmusic.com

See you there!
See you there!
Cleanse.5
Day 5: Today was an easy day! The drinks went down easier, and it was the first day that I felt like I wasn't super hungry!
Tomorrow, I have a lot of work cut out for me - taxes, working out, updating email addresses that we got on the road, cooking some gluten-free deliciousness, some practicing, and hopefully some hanging out with friends!
We'll see how much I get done.

Cleanse.4
So far so good. Today was the 4th day of the cleanse and I am already finished with the 2 drinks. Dani told me she's already lost some weight. I don't believe in scales but I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't been working out, I'm just so exhausted but I think today and this weekend I'll be remedying that! I have a photoshoot coming up in 2 weeks so I think cleansing and sticking to this diet and working out will help tremendously.
This morning and evening, it was much easier to drink the mix than yesterday. I've done a ton of gluten-free research this week to see what we can and can't eat. It turns out that most of my diet is pretty gluten free. I'm just substituting the things that aren't (like pasta) for the gluten free versions. So far so good. Next week, we up the ante and eliminate more things from our diet, so we are incorporating what we need to eliminate this week before it's "see ya in 3 weeks" time =)

Cleanse.2_3
Here we are at the end of day 3. Today was more difficult than yesterday, but hopefully that is a temporary set back. Hey, if it was easy, everyone would do. I feel so tired today. I'm definitely lacking motivation to go work out and feel like I could just sleep for days! I think I'm going to listen to my body this time and get some rest. I'm sure I'm still exhausted from our Texas trip, and we did play a show last night at Springbok. I find I'm really hungry, and I can't figure out if it's just a mental thing because we are on a "diet" or if it's because the cleanse is making me hungry. Hmm...
Well, I know it's early but I think I'm going to swing by the market and then get some rest.
Don't forget, we just booked a show at the House of Blues on Sunset for 4/2 at 8pm. It's a full band acoustic show. Very cool!
XOXO

Cleanse.1
Recently, I decided to start an Ultimate Cleanse. It helps get rid of all the toxins in your body, get you healthy and help you lose some weight in the process. I've been thinking about doing a cleanse like this for ages, but I really didn't trust things I saw on TV. Well, lucky for me, I've got a fantastic and very reliable source on this one. I'm working with the fabulous Shawnee Harkins, So Cal based fitness guru, and she is helping me take my health and fitness to a new level. If you want to know more about Shawnee, you can check her out here: http://www.shawneeharkins.com/
Yesterday, Dani and I embarked on our 30 day cleanse and super diet. The cleanse mix wasn't as easy to get down as we had hoped, but Dani was a cleanse drinking champ and she motivated me to get it down. Definitely true - it tastes way way way better when cold!
Over the next 29 days, we have 2 shakes to drink per day and the diet to follow. I'll blog about it because it is something that is happening with me and I was told by friends and fans that it will provide them motivation to get it done! So thanks for your support and interest in this and making me stick to it!
1 down, 29 to go.
