Beautifully and Wonderfully Made 20 years old only Leah Smith is a pure talent from Philadelphia, and a true gift for our ears. How someone so young could be so amazingly gifted, so pure and so brilliant, maybe in His Great Plan, the responses are in God’s hands, maybe this is how the Perfection could be named ?
Her 6 songs EP “Beautifully Made” is just beautifully made, amix of soul, pop, gospel and folk, her sound is just one that transcends genres, race, and time, reaching music lovers of all ages. If you’ve been looking for some real, feel good music – then look no further says the Black Gospel Blog about the young lady. From acoustic melodies, to heavy hitting beats, orchestral compositions to the stripped down, unplugged sound of a sole piano and vocalist, Smith delivers it all. Her voice effortlessly transitions in and out of high octaves, and her music moves from ballads to hip-hop inspired, upbeat tempos with ease. Hear her songs not just with your ears but with your heart and you will see, as I do, there was Alicia Keys, there will be Leah Smith: there is even no comparison and seems Leah is levitating in a higher gravity.
Smith has always been musically inclined. Hailing from the streets of North Philadelphia she has had a collection of experiences that many don’t experience in a lifetime let alone within the first twenty years of their lives. Smith gave her first vocal solo at the age of 4 and at the age of 9, began singing with the Temple University Program for Gifted Young Musicians. She began recording with the Baltimore based group Sandtown before she was even in a double digit age category, began writing songs at age 11, and attended Philadelphia’s own prestigious Creative and Performing Arts High School. Smith has already toured the United States, Asia, Europe, and Australia and has shared the stage with Grammy Award winning artists such as Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, and Israel Houghton. At the age of 18, Smith joined Houghton’s group, New Breed and worked with them for a year and a half. While touring with the group she began performing the title track to her new EP entitled “Beautifully Made” which she wrote while still in high school. Audiences from all over the nation and the world were immediately drawn to the song. In the words of Israel Houghton, “Leah is already a legend at the age of 18 years old.”
