Leena Ojala began song-writing at the age of 16 when she received her first guitar. Leena moved to London a year later to embrace music and explore her sound. Leena spent time in Berlin – a city renowned for its anarchic creativity – gathering new influences before returning to London to hone her first offering. The critically acclaimed EP1, released in November 2015, was the result.
Leena is influenced by strong female vocalists with emotion-laden melodies, including Stevie Nicks, Kate Bush, London Grammar and Halsey.
Leena has received press coverage from the likes of The 405, The Fader, Clash Magazine, Idol Magazine, The Lady Gunn, Fame Magazine, Atwood Magazine, Earmilk, and many others. Her music has been played in syndicated radio shows such as Passport Approved, Winkelwagen Show and Women of Substance podcasts, as well as in numerous radio stations.
Leena has worked recently with producers Benbrick, DJSweap and DJDoobious, and her tracks have been mixed by D/R/U/G/S, Saturday/Monday, Forte and Paul Gilmore.
