Adrienne Leopold's passion for music began early, as a young child growing up in Toronto. Both then and now, she's been influenced the most by artists who share her love and respect for the power of songwriting. Ever since she can remember, Adrienne has loved to express herself in her own words. At the age of 7 she was writing children's books. By 13, she'd learned to combine her love for words with music, and started writing songs. Now, she loves all genres of music, but her first love is country. Curious, since she's a born and bred big city girl. Regardless of her roots she can't deny or ignore how country music has touched her heart and soul feelings that she'd like to share with audiences everywhere.
From the very beginning, Adrienne instinctively knew that her songs had a natural home in country music because of its intimate way of telling a story with a powerful, personal message. It was, after all, Adrienne's own inspiration to become a singer/songwriter to share her own stories to move and inspire. As a teenager, and then in her university years, Adrienne continued to write, rehearse, and dream of sharing her songs. Nights and weekends were consumed with vocal training classes that ultimately led to live performances at talent showcases. A degree in human resources from the University of Toronto, and a natural desire to help people, seemed a safe, satisfying career fit for Adrienne. But deep down, she knew it was her music that could make a bigger, better difference. And that's what led her to the door of Juno award winning producer Justin Gray.
