About Leena Conquest

When Leena sings, people listen. She weaves and treads that intimate, revelatory sonic ground that she's known for by merging the familiar with the surprising. This Texas-born chanteuse has appeared at New York's Vision Festival, Jazz At Lincoln Center and tours internationally. She has worked with a host of jazz luminaries including pianist Dave Burrell and is an ongoing collaborator with bassist William Parker. She is featured with his Raining on the Moon ensemble and sings on the recordings Voices Fall from the Sky, Cornmeal Dance, the 2011 Downbeat Critics Poll Top 10 Album / Plan to Stay a Believer and more. Indeed it is her vocal dexterity paired with an intuitive, world-wise quality that enables her to deliver these songs with a depth of feeling that is nuanced and profound. Her vocals enliven and resonate with soulful expression rooted in the jazz tradition. Leena is an alumna of Stanford University, attended NYU's Tisch Graduate School of the Arts and trained at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center. Conquest's extraordinary voice can tell countless tales in the space of one line. (Billboard)
