The Indie Discovery: Lelia Broussard

Lelia Broussard is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Lafayette, LA and based in Los Angeles. At only 22, she was one of the finalist of the "Choose The Cover of Rolling Stone Contest" this year. Her last record "Masquerade" released in 2010 thanks to her kickstarter backers was produced by Dan Romer.

Sound: Sweet-voiced pop, jacked with rock riffs and moody keyboard textures. "I'm a singer-songwriter with an indie-rock background," she says. "I don't want to just be a pretty girl with a guitar." - David Browne, Rolling Stone

I've known Lelia's music for 3 years now, and I've never been disappointed about it. All her songs, released and unreleased, are amazing. As well as her record "Masquerade", you can check out "Waiting on the 9".

Lelia is touring in UK & Netherland form Dec 3 to Dec 11 with Chris Ayer, Matt Simons and Adam Barnes.
