Ley |
After several months Ley returned from the States and was soon asked to be the supporting artist for America's most successful gospel recording duo BeBe and CeCe Winans. Her vocal work continued to extend in both live performances and studio recording sessions with well known artists.
In 1996 Ley was able to take part in Britain's most prestigious event of the year - The Royal Variety Show, in the presence of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
Ley then went on to join with her long time friend, jazz guitarist Ian Lewinson and together they formed METROVIBE. A jazz fusion band which successfully delivered contemporary jazz, soul and gospel to audiences throughout London and the home counties.
In 2000 Ley moved to Cornwall where she now lives with her husband and 3 children. Ley continued to perform both in her own right and as a featured guest vocalist with local jazz and soul bands.
More recently, since 2006 Ley has joined forces with local musician Richard Penrose, an incredibly gifted pianist and musical arranger. Leys passionate vocal performances continue to uplift and inspire audiences throughout the county of Cornwall. Together Richard and Ley deliver unforgettable gospel, jazz and soul.
The range of their engagements extend to weddings, charity events, churches, corporate functions, festivals, hotels, restaurants and gospel music workshops
