Leah Andreone (born 1974) is an American musician from San Diego, California.

Early life and career

Andreone was born and raised in San Diego and attended Helix High School in La Mesa. She became interested in music early in life, finding it an easy way to express emotion. After high school she spent time in Los Angeles, working during the day and singing at night.

Her first album, "Veiled", produced by Rick Neigher, was released by RCA in 1996. It produced the hit single "It's Alright, It's Okay" which charted in both the U.S. and Europe. It was introspective whereas her next album, "Alchemy", was more sexual and intimate. Andreone's lyrics are often treatises on psychology, reflecting her interest in the subject.

Since "Alchemy", Andreone has continued to write and perform. She has collaborated with other artists and writers, such as Billy Steinberg, Kevin Fisher, Rob Hyman, Eric Bazilian, Marti Fredrikson, Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails), John Shanks, David Lowry (Cracker), John Lowery (Marilyn Manson), Kasia Livingston, Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo), Michelle Lewis and Martha Davis (The Motels) and worked as a producer. She toured with Lilith Fair and is completing a third album.

She has contributed a cover of Carole King's, "I Feel The Earth Move" to the "Speed 2" soundtrack. She also released the "Veiled" era song, "We're Not Alone" to the "Women For Women 2" album, from which proceeds went to the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations. In Auguest 2008, she released a cover to "You Are My Sunshine" on the compilation CD "UndisCOVERed".

Leah recently released a new EP of new material entitled "UNLABELED - The Demos", which contains a cover of Beyoncé's "Deja Vu".
