Lelia Broussard

Artist Information

Biography

South Louisiana native Lelia Broussard is releasing her 3rd studio record this fall with Dan Romer producing entitled "Masquerade". This record showcases Broussard's solid songwriting, vocals, and catchy melodies, and is gathering quite a buzz already with the early spread of the first single, "Shoot For The Moon" amongst her loyal fan base. Earlier this year, Lelia raised over $15,000 with her fans through Kickstarter.com to fund the upcoming record and is in the top 5 most successful music projects of all time on the popular site.

Time and again, Lelia's strong fan base has proven to be active and responsive in supporting her whether its raising money, buying her records, and most importantly, showing up with a bunch of friends when she comes through their city on tour.

Lelia was recently voted as one of the top 3 artists by music fans on the Ourstage.com site to play Lilith Fair in the very competitive California market. She has toured extensively all over the US, and plans to spend most of 2010/2011 on the road in support of her new record.

Of Note: In 2008, Lelia signed a publishing deal with Universal Music/Rondor and relocated from New York to Los Angeles to write and eventually record the "Waiting on the 9" EP which was released in 2009. That EP was distributed through Tower Records in Japan as well as the US.

“I was a lot more honest with myself when I wrote this record. These songs are deeply personal and raw. I want it to sound like I mean it” -Lelia Broussard

It is also a showcase for her rich voice - a voice that wraps itself around the lyrics and infuses them with warmth and depth. The CD's opening track "Love Me Anyway" immediately worms its way into the listener's brain and its haunting chorus remains there long after the song is over.
