Music Star,Leona Lewis Is Coverstar For Vogue Arabia..

Award-winning British songstress Leona Lewis opens up about falling deeply in love with music, her newborn daughter, and living free from fear.

Lewis first stunned international audiences with her 2006 breakthrough win on X Factor, the British reality TV music competition created by Simon Cowell, followed by the worldwide No 1 song Bleeding Love from her debut album Spirit. 

But it was long before then that nine-year-old Leona’s first audience, her peers in performing arts school  encouraged her to realize her talent.

 

She recalls how the music teacher asked the class who should sing the solo and, to her surprise, all the students pointed to her. Soon she was on stage, becoming enchanted with the magic and excitement of performing.

 “As I got more into music, I just fell more deeply in love with it, and with music and writing also as a way to really heal things in my life,” she shares. 

As the saying goes, the rest is history, or more accurately, a living history she is still writing. Lewis is a three-time Grammy Award nominee, seven-time Brit Award nominee, MTV VMA winner, World Music Award winner, and recognized with the Music Pioneer Award at the United Nations Women’s Entrepreneurship Day.

 Among the accolades of her career, being recently named as having the UK’s biggest debut album by a female artist elicits her childhood glee and love of music,.

“I think back  to the little girl sitting in her room, just singing her heart out, rehearsing and practicing, having these wild dreams of being a singer, and recording albums,” Lewis reminisces.
