Leah Rye creates alternative pop music that offers space to feel and connect. Her music balances between light and dark, togetherness and solitude, inviting listeners to pause and reflect on emotions without rushing to resolve them. With a strong focus on mental health, she creates a safe and open space during her live shows where vulnerability is embraced as strength.
Her dreamy, cinematic sound moves between singer-songwriter and pop noir, with influences including Patrick Watson, Massive Attack, and Lana Del Rey. From a young age, Leah taught herself to play piano and found songwriting as a way to make sense of the world around her.
Her new album Room of Disbelief (to be released October 2025) emerged from a personal experience of doubt and self-criticism. With a minimalist and pure production, Leah presents herself more direct and adventurous than ever before. Leah Rye is known for her unique combination of vulnerability and strength and creates a deep connection with her audience through her intense and honest performances. “For me, music is a place where you can be yourself, with all your doubts and strengths. It is that space of honesty I want to share so that no one ever has to feel alone.” — Leah Rye
