Lesha on route to International Stage
This girl is unstoppable. Yes! You heard it right! Fast rising electropop artist Lesha is moving towards a higher level. Finally, this generational pop personality decides to spread her wings and become the captain of her own ship. But in this case, her musical career by joining AWAL, a prestigious British music distribution company and take note one of the renowned label worldwide. Currently, AWAL houses the world’s biggest names in the music industry like Lauv, Finneas, BANKS, girl in red, deadmau5, Tom Misch, The Wombats, mxmtoon, and more! She’s excited to share with everyone the good news.
“I chose to make the bold move of going fully independent again and teaming up with AWAL for my music distribution, because I felt it was the right thing to do,” Lesha enthuses.
Let’s just say it was fate that has made a way for Lesha to navigate her path. Being an independent artist, Lesha always wanted to explore her musicality and freedom being known as a DIY type of artist and having built her career and artistry around that. Through the years, she has shown her audience that an artist can thrive in the music industry without being backed up by the big machinery a label can provide.
She gave a little background on her new international affiliation. “Not all artists can get accepted because AWAL only selects artists with a trajectory and notable milestones. I went through an application process and after 5 days, I got an acceptance email from the team! AWAL empowers independent artists by giving them full control and ownership over their work. As an artist that cares so much about my artistry and rights, being with AWAL was truly a match made in heaven.”
There’s another good news that Lesha wants to share. Lesha is debuting her next track entitled “Twin Flames”. Just like her previous songs, this one is a surefire hit as she got to collaborate with two International music icons– UK Singer-Songwriter Lewis Maxwell and Bahrain based producer Ghauri. As compared to Sun Moon Rising and Karma, Twin Flames is more of a danceable disco inspired track adding another flavor to her entire album.
“‘Twin Flames’ speaks a lot to me when it comes to my perspective on love or relationships. As much as I hate to admit it, I enjoy the thrill of the running and chasing stage and this is the song that summarizes that entire feeling for me,” Lesha explains the meaning of the song.
“The entire idea of a Twin Flame connection and how chaotic yet electric it is has always been very fascinating to me. I would read a bunch of articles about it just out of curiosity and I always wondered if I would ever find or come across my ‘Twin Flame’ but I guess that’s something I may or may not ever find out. I’m also happy that I got to work with two of the best international artists. Ghauri and I have been meaning to collaborate on a track for a while now so when he passed this track on to me I immediately got down to writing. A few weeks prior to writing this song I met Lewis and I fell in love with his voice. I just knew he’d be the perfect fit for this song so I hit him up and I was so glad he was down to work on the song with me,” she continues.
Lesha’s collaborator, UK based singer/songwriter Lewis also shared his thoughts on creating Twin Flames virtually. “I absolutely loved doing this collaboration project. It was something I’ve never done before, you know the whole cross Atlantic ocean thing that we’re on other sides of the world. The songwriting process for me was weirdly, weirdly easy. And I say that because normally when I’m writing with someone I’ve never met before it’s awkward and like when you’re writing you kind of putting like a piece of you into the song, like you can’t be afraid to say things and deal with the person. But this was something new to me. For like the first 3 hours of the call, me and Lesha spoke just about everything and she’s just such a cool girl like we weirdly had so much in common. It looks like we’re so far apart but when in fact we’re not. We just wrote together and then things just happened like we didn’t really have to try too hard.”
Things are becoming brighter for Lesha’s path. She has always believed that the best is yet to come and she’s looking forward to where the universe will take her next. She’s not in a hurry though as Lesha takes her sweet time cherishing every moment. Definitely, she is making a mark all throughout. Who knows where the tide will take her, but one thing is for sure. She’s moving towards fulfilling her dream of creating bigger than life experiences.
“I guess I can say I’ve been preparing my whole life for this. And no it’s not an over exaggeration haha! I’ve always wanted to represent the Philippines globally ever since I began performing and competing in the past. I just can’t wait for that moment to arrive and for the universe to hand me that opportunity soon.”
‘Twin Flames’ is the 3rd track of Lesha’s global collaboration visual album titled ‘SUN MOON RISING’ set to drop in early 2022 and is going to be available on all digital music streaming platforms this November 12, 2021.
