Born to the sounds of Singapore, Leena Salim’s childhood home was filled with songs from the transistor radio. A woman with a mission, her rise to stardom has been one filled with the challenges of overcoming her cultural origins and making her voice heard in a modern world, determined to break the stigma surrounding female and ethnic constraints.
Now based in Brisbane, Leena’s voice has evolved into the mature, soulful, elegant resonance of a modern-day jazz vocalist, harking back to the likes of Barbara Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James.
