Leoncie   composes, arranges, produces and performs all her material.    She's a very Versatile Solo- Artist.

Q: What kind of Music do you write Leoncie?

A: I  write Wholesome Happy Music that anyone can listen to and dance to. My music is Rock-Pop-Dance.     My songs really intoxicate people, gives them plenty of pleasure and when they tell me that it really thrills me.

In All Honesty, Leoncie is  a breath of Fresh air compared to so much talentless garbage on the charts.

Leoncie' s music is  A Lovely Range of Agressive and yet Sensual,Dynamic Melodies that touch your Soul.  She is, the Singer-Songwriter  who does not need any fancy tricks to make her great, and can back up anything she says, unlike many of the  frauds in the music industry.

Her first LP ©  MY ICELANDIC MAN   had  some pretty amazing  songs, incredible lyrics and aroused a great deal of attention.  It was  also played on many radio stations.

                                                           

Totally,   there were 11 songs on – MY ICELANDIC MAN.   The LP was really HOT and in 1987, British Newspaper -THE SUN  described Leoncie as a very Raunchy Singer who would'nt allow the entertainment dwarf in the Iceberg to get to her.   Among one of the many  letters and compliments she  received from the USA and Canada after being in the American Entertainment Weekly, was this one."Hey   Leoncie, you've got a lot of pjazz, you're cute as a button- So...Go for it!"

Her  second Album-CD  was ......STORY FROM BROOKLYN.   Leoncie  sang"HAVE FAITH"   Title song in the Czech Film  ”A Friend For Rainy Weather 2.” which  was released in Czechoslovakia, and shown in many film theatres around Europe.     The Cd-with the same title was also released the same day.   It's a must -see film.

STORY FROM BROOKLYN, was recorded, mainly in England,  Prague and also in Iceland. Some of the songs were recorded in spring 1991, and some more in Prague in  January 1992, when Leoncie went all the way from Iceland to Czechoslovakia to   record it.   Prague's a wonderful place, says Leoncie.  It' s a truly  unforgettable Experience.

 The rest was done in the way that Leoncie sung her vocals in Reykjavik, sent them to her Engineer on a DAT  cassette,  then he sampled her voice into the Multitrack and gave the songs a Final mix. The result, a lovely album. Title Song in the film -A Friend For Rainy Weather  2, was written in collaboration with her Engineer/Musician- Eddie Parma Jr. It was great working with Eddie. He was always enthusiastic. Give this a shot...try this, try that.Boy! What a personality.

                                                           A Friend For Rainy Weather II.

                                                  Special thanks on the cd STORY FROM BROOKLYN go to Film Director Mr. Jaroslav Soukup, to DJ Heroe,and to Viktor Albertsson,  the Icelandic  photographer-bodyguard who also co-wrote the lyrics for Safe Sex-Take me Deeper.  It' s an extremely raunchy  song which sends shivers down your spine and is a brilliant,vocal performance from  Leoncie whose humour shines through. 

                                DO YOU KNOW  WHAT A FABULOUS COOK LEONCIE  IS ^?

                              ^{DO YOU KNOW THAT LEONCIE SEWS HER OWN SHOW CLOTHES?} 

Talk About Multi -Talent!  She' s  like a million women rolled into one.   Never, ever, looks the same.

Why? Variety Is The Spice Of Life.God' s given us so much choice, I don' t care for uniforms and I don' t like looking like everyoneelse.   

 Her third CD was a compilation Cd with various other artists. Here's a new version of the famous hit :

Black Magic Woman and Safe Sex (take me deeper).

                                                           LOVE MESSAGES,FROM OVERSEAS  * 

                        I'm well equipped to supply you with your every need*That' s Entertainment!

 The songs on this Fantastic Cd have been recorded and performed in many different countries. England, India, Canada, Iceland, CzechRepublic and Denmark.  It's WORLDBEAT . There are totally 17 songs on this CD. One is in Icelandic, and it's called Hún er Óvidjafnanleg, which Leoncie wrote herself. The lyrics are incredibly humourous.   Teenage boy In Town is a very  punchy song, recorded in England and Gareth Stewart the sound engineer /guitarist played the solo on that song. Preparing  this particular CD, with  different engineers,musicians, and their sound advice, was something! Leoncie  uses all sorts of instruments and keyboards in different countries for special sounds.

"I use any professional piano's, keyboards, instruments that the studio's have got, whatever countries I decide to record in. "  Besides studying Classical and Jazz music, Leoncie has also had Vocal training,and  studied, song production, and arrangements in England, India, Czech Republic, Denmark and Canada.

My opinion is that with different professionals of different nationalities and cultures,  I have gained a tremendous deal of Knowledge and Experience. I thank God for that.

FAMILY AND FAITH

LEONCIE   comes from a family of Professional Musicians, and has a Wealthy Musical Heritage. She's also had plenty of Strong Discipline whilst growing up. I'm a Serious Singer/Musician/Composer when I'm working in the recording  studio and I don't want anything to do with Racists, Junkies,Drunks or Satanists.   Leoncie is a devout christian and credits the Lord Almighty for both the ability and the powerful inspiration to create her music. Her goal as an artist is to bring happiness and laughter into people's lives through the tremendous songs she creates. The positive, fan mail she receives continuosly, testifies to the fact that she is acheiving her goal.

" My parents have every reason to be proud of me and all the success I've achieved till today, all on my very own. My father did'nt go kissing the governments ass to spend tax payers money on me, like other fathers in Iceland are doing all the time."  My life has been a hard, long battle, from India to Iceland, and I challenge anyone in this country, who is living off-tax-payers money, anywhere, at any time,  on any stage in the world, to prove how great they really are without  bribing journalists with brennivin booze etc. to support them.

Neither Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, or Justin Timberlake, ,abuse me or send hateful crap. They don't live off the American tax-payers money either. They don' t need to, because their records sell. They do not  send their families to the record stores to buy their own records either, just so that they can be in the charts.

I can only tell my enemies, if you focus on yourself, cut out your prejudice, you'll succeed too.
