Leana + Musician in Seattle, WA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Professional musician from Brisbane Australia. Have played as a session musician in Australia since 2011. Grew up learning classical, contemporary and jazz piano. Completed Bachelor of Music majoring in jazz piano at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 2015. Have played all genres of music from classical to jazz, pop to rock. Also play tenor sax as my second instrument.

I’m new to Seattle and am looking to join a band that is actively seeking gigs and wants to make new, fresh music together. I love jamming and composing but I also love polishing a piece and can’t get past the feeling of playing with a tight band.

I would love to join a jazz big band on tenor sax - so if you have any leads on jazz big bands in the Seattle area, I would love to know about them!!

For piano, I'm looking for a smaller group to join - 3-5 members - where I will have input into the music we play and have the option to write music for the group as well.

Please note: the recordings on my page are from my session work in Australia and are composed by various people. I am playing piano on all tracks. Note also that most of these tracks are jazz but I'm open to playing many genres of music. See my influence list for the style/genre of music I would most like to play and create.
