About Me |
|
| “Leila Lopez is a gentle, passionate soul whose inner rhythms manifest an assumingly gorgeous grace. In broad sweeping colors of folk, jazz and latin influence, Leila’s mellifluous voice and quiet chords articulate a prayerful, joyful love of life, as if to remind us, “The universe is not made up of atoms, but of music.”Leila has been exploring, discovering and sharing her musical mind since she was a wee lass, having first learned to play the guitar from listening and watching her father when eight years old. Wrapping her heart and hands around the cello in grade school, Leila broadened her knowledge of music theory and strengthened her lyrical intuition. She has since found inspiration in a variety of instruments, including the drums, bass guitar, flutes, hand percussion, violin and mandolin.Leila has been recording, producing and distributing her albums independently for three years. She has had the honor to open for national performances of Joanna Newsom, Tim Reynolds, The Mountain Goats, Amos Lee, Brandi Carlile, Keaton Simons and the Hot Buttered Rum String Band.Leila is presently working on a new album and planning a west coast summer tour." | |
