Leisha Martin
I have had a passion for singing and performing since I was a young girl. I was known as the 'little girl with the big voice' with a reputation for bursting into song morning, noon and night, no change there!!!!
It was my joy of singing which lead me to join various singing groups then... DALEDIVA came into my life.
The choir has been a huge and significant part of my life and has presented me with new and exciting opportunities that I could never have imagined. Being lucky enough to sing and perform with such an inspirational group of women, share highs and lows and make memories together has certainly secured a deep rooted bond.
The opportunity to feature as a soloist, sing in the quartet 'Farenheit', work with larger ensembles and run a youth choir 'Young Voices Unite' has all enabled me to grow in confidence. Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge which I am now able to share with others and fortunate enough to earn a living doing something that I enjoy...SINGING!
Five years ago Ally and I started our business L&A Vocals and as well
as singing our way through life we currently run two Community Choirs in
Matlock and Belper.
I feel very lucky to be able to share my love and enthusiasm for singing
and I am enjoying seeing the positive effect that we have on the people
we meet.
Having enjoyed being a member of DALEDIVA since 2007 I feel extremely
honoured to have become co Assistant Directer 2 years ago. My new role
not only allows me the opportunity to share my experience, it also
enables me to assist, encourage, support and educate my peers.
It is wonderful being able to work alongside Ally we are a formidable team. We each bring something different into the fold and we too are constantly learning from each other. I feel
very fortunate to have such inspirational and talented co workers. With
Ally's boundless energy and musicality and my passion for
singing we will hopefully continue to motivate and lead DALEDIVA for
many more years to come.
