Leila Naderi (born February 1, 1985) is an American-Canadian vocalist, pianist, composer, and arranger. Known for her undeniably unique voice, this Persian Jewish city girl is blazing a new path and bringing scores of audience members with her.

Her “triumphant new record” (CBC Radio West) Of Roses & Royalty (2026) sits on the forefront of the R&B Soul lineage, and its courageous physical-only release challenges streaming moguls with estimated sales 20Xing streaming income in the first week of its release.

An independent artist to date, Naderi spent over a decade as a solo singer-songwriter composing and performing her eclectic original music for piano and voice before arranging for larger groups. She released her first self-titled album Leila at age 16 (2001) in Texas and her second album Simple (2003) at age 18. She then moved to British Columbia, Canada to pursue a degree in Anthropology. During her time at school, she released two guitar and vocal albums Homeless in Calgary (2007) and Exodus (2009) and a four-track psychadelic rock EP with singer-songwriter Lee Taylor (2009).

After the birth of her first child, she created and performed an inter-arts rock theatre show called Transcending Orbit (2012). She then won third place at Vancouver’s Pop Star Showdown for the single Edge, later recorded on her trio’s EP Mountain Sound (2018) and in its full sound on her current release.

She returned to solo piano and voice with Domesticated Goddess (2014) a five-track EP engineered, mixed and mastered with The Warehouse engineer

Despite her newfound single motherhood by late 2015, homeschooling and on welfare, she began carving out her distinct sound with her first band Mountain Sound and the group became a West Coast festival and party band staple with their one and only release Mountain Sound (2018).

They toured throughout BC and Alberta culminating in a MainStage and opener set for Hawksley Workman at North County Fair near Edmonton.

After choosing to dismantle the trio in honour of her growing artistic vision, she created a self-titled power-duet with Ontario drummer and singer-songwriter Rusty Someone. She released Live at the Rickshaw (2019) from their performance at Vancouver’s Chutzpah Festival and two back-to-back solo singles: Never Give Up (2020) and River (2020) both mixed and mastered by Emmy-Award nominee Jeff Zipp with Lightmachine Records in Vancouver.

The following year, she released Little Big Storm (2021) and garnered 11,000 organic streams from the hit single Edge of the World, remastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg.

After an 18-month arrangement and transcribing intensive with composer and Cellar Music Group artist Neil Gray she released Rose Coloured Romance Live (2023) and won the GO People’s Choice Award in 2023 for Favourite Female Artist. She also lent her voice to a Night and Day on Gray’s NACC jazz charting album release In The Streets (2025).

That same year, Spotify wrongfully accused Naderi of fraudulent streaming activity and removed her entire Little Big Storm EP from the platform causing a flood of fan outrage and a news media blitz.

It is what single handedly drove her away from streaming her current work.

The new album’s recording and production was graciously funded by Creative BC and the Government of British Columbia, recorded and mixed by now Emmy-nominated Jeff Zipp, and mastered by Grammy-award winning Howie Weinberg out of LA.
