From the heart of Los Angeles—more specifically the legendary Crenshaw District—emerges an artist whose talent is as natural as her name suggests. Leah Writes has built a reputation as one of the most gifted R&B singer-songwriters on the West Coast, pairing a soft, soothing tone with a confident delivery and a pen that cuts deeper than most. Her latest project, Lyrical Therapy 2.0, proves exactly why her name continues to climb in conversations about the next wave of powerful voices in R&B.
For Leah, music has been more than a passion—it’s been a lifeline. Her journey started at just nine years old in the most unexpected place: the bathtub. Splashes of water turned into percussion, melodies became her escape, and before she even understood the magnitude of what she was doing, she had created her first song. That moment ignited a spark she’s carried with her ever since, guiding her through every chapter of her life.
Her new album, Lyrical Therapy 2.0, is the purest reflection of that spark. A two-disc, 14-track experience, the project brings together an impressive lineup of collaborators including Zoe Osama, Ease The Don, Mike Free, Xian Bell, Nilla Allin, RATED TG, Desi Mo, Quiz, and The Beat District. Tracks like “Preface,” “#SELFLOVE,” “Wassup,” “Feels,” and “Oasis” showcase her versatility—floating between smooth R&B, melodic rap, and Hip-Hop-influenced rhythms with a grace that feels effortless.
But behind the music is a story layered with resilience, purpose, and love. Leah is a mother, a true creative, and a woman who channels everything she feels into every lyric she writes. Much of her strength and dedication stems from her late brother, whose passing left a deep mark on her life. He supported her from the very beginning, believed in her gifts, and continues to inspire her with every step she takes. His influence lives through her music, shaping her drive and reminding her to keep reaching higher.
Lyrical Therapy 2.0 isn’t just an album title—it’s a truth for Leah. Writing and creating is her form of healing, the place where she processes life, loss, joy, and growth. Each song is a session, each verse a release, and each melody a reminder of her purpose. That raw emotional connection, paired with her charismatic energy and vibrant personality, makes her artistry both relatable and unforgettable.
And while she’s best known for her soul-stirring R&B delivery, Leah Writes is far from one-dimensional. She can rap, she’s a true student of Hip-Hop, and she approaches every record with a fearless sense of creativity.
