Marianne Leigh is an acoustic indie-pop artist writing catchy tunes about genuine human emotions and experiences. She speaks to the soul with her meaningful lyrics and connects to listeners through her narrative songwriting style. Leigh's songs discuss the struggles of a naive youth, the ups and downs of love, and learning life lessons.
She is a versatile artist, her authenticity heard in both her emotional ballads and upbeat singles. The 18-year-old placed first in the nationwide Smokefree Rockquest competition with her single Best of Me in 2019, and brought her talent to TV on the What Now and Cath Vincent TV Shows.
She is a three-time finalist of the Play It Strange songwriting competitions and was mentored by award-winning NZ musician Bic Runga. “Authenticity beams through Marianne Leigh’s connection, vast musical space and raw artistry." - NZ Musician Magazine.
Jesse Mulligan interviewed Leigh about her single Could’ve Been The One on RNZ where she played it live. The songstress featured on the 'Uke Can Do It' TV series working alongside music icon Jamie McDell on their single Streetlights.
Her latest single Sweet Goodbyes is a refreshing, hook-laden slice of indie-pop. With a highly addictive chorus; equally infectious melodies; punchy drums and guitar, Sweet Goodbyes takes its influence from strong female 70's rock bands.
As Marianne Leigh reveals her new music and innovative sound this year, she solidifies her unique place in the music industry.
