Leah Harris Unloads "Shine"

R&B/Soul singer-songwriter, pianist, and entrepreneur Leah Harris debuts her new single, "Shine." Leah wrote this song with inspiration from the unique creative journeys undertaken by artists and entrepreneurs. This track was recorded in Nashville and produced by Sal Oliveri, best known for his work on GRAMMY-nominated tracks by P!nk and Chris Stapleton.

The single release will be followed in July by a music video featuring muralist Andaluz the Artist spray-painting an old piano, and lead Broadway performer Olutayo, dancing a self-choreographed routine. “It takes determination to wake up every morning and pursue a nontraditional dream,” said Leah Harris. “I wrote this song as a reminder that, even though it can be a tough road, the unique work of creatives is impactful and deeply appreciated.”

Leah Harris' latest releases are currently on Spotify's ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist and her past releases have been featured on over 800 other playlists, receiving more than 350,000 Spotify streams. Leah Harris has been featured on several magazine covers in the Detroit area and recognized for her contributions to the Stockholm, Dublin, and Helsinki music scenes, where she lived for nearly a decade before moving to New York City.

Hi Leah Harris! Let’s start with how did you get your artist name?

Hi! Well in this case, the answer is easy because I just went with my own name!

What city are you from and where are you based now?

I’m originally from Windsor, ON, Canada which is only five minutes away from Detroit. It was a really unique place to grow up musically because we were exposed to Detroit radio, and all the [Motown] and Soul that came with it, as well as the channels that promoted mainly Canadian artists. I’m now based in the NYC area, Jersey City to be exact.

What are some of your future music career goals?

For me, music is all about connecting with people. I try to write exactly what I’m feeling in hopes that someone will be able to relate and find comfort in the music, whether it be an uplifting, inspiring song or an honest track about a difficult moment. I’m a hustler, and I’m always working on social media, PR, and the business side of my career, but at the end of the day, I believe it all comes down to creating something beautiful and seeing what happens.

What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects that we should be on the lookout for?

I am releasing the music video for “Shine” in July. I’m excited because it features muralist Andaluz the Artist spray painting an old piano, and he did an amazing job. It also features dancer Olutayo performing a self-choreographed routine. This is all to support the mission statement of recognizing and empowering creatives on their journeys.

I also recorded a second single called, “New Man,” that I hope to release later this year!
