Bio
Leona X has honest emotion in her signature guitar work and song writing.
Her music is emotionally raw, and riff heavy. Her live performances have been described as commanding and passionate, and her voice as captivating and haunting.
Her biggest guitar influences are Angus Young, Toni Iommi, and Jerry Cantrell. These guitarists inspired her to learn guitar and helped shape her fiery blues-based rock style.
She is the singer/lead guitarist, and songwriter of her original Las Vegas based band, and continues to grow and evolve as an artist. Those who know her say she is an amazing talent with a heart of gold.
Leona’s newest single release, “I’m Alive”, is emotionally riveting, channeling the magic and awesome power of Mother Nature. It also includes an intro called “Til We Meet Again”.
Her greatest passion is songwriting, and through it, spreading a message of love, compassion, and equality, for all species.
