LEAH ASHTON
Leah Ashton is a Los Angeles-based artist with Midwestern roots whose genre-bending sound provides an eclectic mix of soul, jazz, and 60s/70s-style singer-songwriter. Influenced by the likes of Sara Bareilles, Carole King, Lake Street Dive, Norah Jones, and Bill Withers, Leah’s music draws listeners in with her powerfully soulful voice that tells stories of self-discovery, empowerment, and chasing after one’s dreams.
Leah’s most recent releases include a Concept EP for the work-in-progress musical, Two Crowns (Sept 2025), a melancholic holiday EP, sad girl silver bells (Nov of 2024), and her debut full-length album, Late Bloomer (Sept 2022). Late Bloomer marked a return to Leah’s pursuit of her own artist project after spending more than a decade working behind the scenes in Los Angeles as a contracted vocalist supporting artists like Andy Grammer, Michael Bolton, Matoma, Brandon Victor Dixon, and JMSN, and performing on stages like the Hollywood Bowl, The Dolby Theater, The Ford Amphitheater, and the Cannes Film Festival, and appearing on TV shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live!, House of Lies, and Good Day LA.
You can find Leah performing music from all of these projects around the greater Los Angeles area.
