Leisha Lloyd: A one-woman creative force, lyrical wordplay master, songwriter, producer and performer — raw, unfiltered and uncensored.

Mental Health, but embracing it. Loving, Laughing at your quirks, Raising awareness to the actual depth in Mental Health, saying what others won’t say. The NEW track - 7 Different Versions Of Me, is written from my own truth, my daily struggles - 7 days a week. Is it crazy for me to say - Would you believe I wrote this in about an hour? Had a sound already in my mind, The Next day, Added this track, as the last track to add too my new album Chapter II & Uploaded. I can’t really say what it’s cost me, but I can tell you - Mentally struggling for years in silence being called “Crazy” in a hurtful way - Is why I wrote this track - I’m not crazy lol, But the fact, I can write a Rap that fast, produce it, distribute it & learn it myself - By listening to my own demo! NOW, that.. You can say is crazy.

Where it started

I remember the exact moment I fell in love with WORDS - Differently & through music. 13 Years Old & my Magazine came with a Pepsi CD. Had like 4 or 5 songs & I heard the track, NAS - I Can. Aussie Girl then fell, HARD for American Rap & Lyrics with MEANING. Struggling to find my own words throughout many years, I would hear what I wanted to say or couldn’t - In the Beats. Over time, I would wait for those moments alone to bust out in private. I was often told, You should write, Become a journalist, Why don’t you write a book? Funny now, However - Fear of judgement had me silent, thinking - Books? I love Rap… I can write a Hook! Music stayed my secret passion until 2016 when a little Karaoke app came about called Smule. Stuck in bad situation, I turned to an online community who then blew me up instantly… Because how often do you come across an Aussie Chick with Covers of Eminem & NAS? Lol! I then knew, I can preform, Rap.. I can Sing. Tech hadn’t advanced yet, So I would just play ‘round, sometimes post, You know.. Parody’s or re-writes to Instrumentals of other artists songs. Until now.

The come-up

The road here wasn't clean. Recovery, Mental Health,Very Toxic Cycles - ALL my Trauma, taking my pain, healing & then… Turning it into a lyrically relatable track.. For others, to also heal. AND, Technology hey! Fear of judgement held me back from sharing ANYTHING! Technology now so advanced - Can now allow, A girl like me, With no fancy studio production, No band to play me a beat, No vocalist etc - The ability to generate my own demos.. Literally.. 100% me tweaking again and again, instructing over and over.. Every instrument, Every beat, hook, riff, tempo shifts.. EVERYTHING. Add my own Lyrics, EVERY single word, Generated from MY brain. Finding the exact,perfect vocal, as close as I could possibly get to the sound of my own - You then have a track by Leisha Lloyd. That was the moment, 4months ago. When I heard my first, full, original track - I cried, I healed, I realised I am apparently a music producer & my love for music ran so deep - I knew I had to share with those, Who connect lyrically like me.

The project

The latest is 7 Different Versions Of Me - Leisha Lloyd. Mental Health, but embracing it. Loving, Laughing at your quirks, Raising awareness to the actual depth in Mental Health, saying what others won’t say. 7 Different Versions Of Me, is written from my own truth, my daily struggles - 7 days a week. Is it crazy for me to say - Would you believe I wrote this in about an hour? Had a sound already in my mind, The Next day, Added this track, as the last track to add too my new album Chapter II & Uploaded. I can’t really say what it’s cost me, but I can tell you - Mentally struggling for years in silence being called “Crazy” in a hurtful way - Is why I wrote this track - I’m not crazy lol, But the fact, I can write a Rap that fast, produce it, distribute it & learn it myself - By listening to my own demo! NOW, that.. You can say is crazy.

What they want you to know

I haven’t got my 100% vocal on my songs, YET. This is purely because I don’t have all the fancy audio or help to professionally add my own vocals to my standards and quality that I wanted my tracks to produce. I write EVERY word from MY OWN story in my lyrics - You can feel me and connect with my entire story right there.

What's next

Ideally, I would love to create my next album with covers of my own tracks. Would be SO SPECIAL to me!

I love to write though,

Don’t ask me, How? - I can’t answer that! 🤣 BUT - Suddenly, I write full tracks out of NO WHERE! So fast, That it starts in my Notebook on my phone.. Nothing fancy, remember lol. Then, I must complete! Currently, I have that many completed (what I like to call “Demo” Tracks, Saved in a Folder.. Like, my catalog) DREAM would be - Continuing to write songs & see huge artists dropping them, as their own!
