Putting a respectful modern edge onto a classy and classic soul sound that soars between fresh, fun and funky, and passionately heart-melting, Sydney-based singer/songwriter Lea Paris is rapidly staking her claim as one of this country’s leading musical lights.
Sassy, sultry and smooth, with an unrivalled groove to everything she points her Fender Rhodes piano at, Lea’s self-titled debut EP refines her impeccable live reputation, but it’s only the tip of an impressive iceberg for what this genuine talent has to offer.
Backed by a tight nine-piece band, the in-demand performer can lead the charge through a thrilling range of styles – proving her undeniable chops on anything from smoky, emotional ballads and gritty blues to upbeat acid jazz and captivating funk workouts, all enhanced by an innate sense of melody and world-class delivery.
With a uniquely individual feel and a versatile voice that drifts and ducks like a summer cloud before backing up Leanne’s musical bark with a raspy bite, the soul queen recalls the true musical greats without ever falling into blind, Idol-esque imitation.
Her inspiration may lay with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Jimmy Smith, Dr John and the Brand New Heavies, but Lea Paris is boldly forging her own musical path. And it’s a path that’s a joy to walk down.

I thought that I would sent you a hello note. Sending you this poem today. I hope you like it.......
The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of Heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not Be my friend? -
See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou friendship not me?
I know you don't know me, but you add me as your friend, and I'm honored to be one of your friends. My name is Kyle Elliott, 22 years old, 5' 10", 205lbs, green eyes and a mixture of French and African American spices. I'm part of the newest singing group from the the family of Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Smokey Robinson. It's the first time that the family has put together a all boys singing group. And I hope we won't let you down. All I want to do is be one of your friends , if you don't mind, if I could send you a poem now and then, write about the things that happen to me in this crazy music business. Or just keep in touch to see how you're doing in life.
I just finished college and join together with my brothers Shermaine Jaqu'el and Frederick and my god brother Jason (DNA). We gave up our friends, family and life for the family. I guess you can say we sold our souls (smile). And the song "Walk like A Model" is just for you .
Is it real life or is it a dream ? Have a peaceful and sunny day and thanks very much for your friendship. Your music is very tastefully,unique and inspiring
& August 29th - The Annandale Hotel, Blood Sweat & Beers 
Cheers!!
