Leela James. Nacida en los 80, crecida en Los Ángeles con la comida soul y la música de B.B. King, Al Green y Marvin Gaye. Hablamos con ella en el recinto Heineken Music Hall, Ámsterdam, mayo de 2005, dónde actuó como apertura de los Black Eyed Peas.

"I started singing when I was very young. Got into music because my teacher told me to go to a studio. I had to record a professional track. It was really excited to hear my own voice."
