Award-winning US singer songwriter Leah Nobel fuses pop and folk in order to create a timeless, yet cutting-edge sound. The mult-dimensional artist also writes under the name of ‘Hael’, which she uses to craft darker pop music. She’s been featured in ads for Toyota, Apple, and many more.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Her latest project, ‘Running In Borrowed Shoes’, saw Leah interview 100 people from diverse backgrounds, before writing songs based on the stories and themes she uncovered. Walking around with a homemade sign which proclaimed, “Come Talk To Me”, she learned about the joys, hopes, and struggles of people’s lives.<\/p>\n

The project was produced by Pete Stewart, a three-time Grammy winner, who’s best known for his work with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. It’s a true art piece, combining journalism, empathy, and advocacy, as well as music.<\/p>\n
