Leah Justine live at The Sand Bar and Grill

Leah Justine is a Pacific Northwest native whose powerhouse vocals, storytelling heart, and magnetic stage presence have made her one of the rising voices in independent country music. Crowned Female Vocalist of the Year by the Northwest Country Music Association (NW-CMA), Leah brings a dynamic mix of grit and grace to every performance—on stage, in the studio, and through her self-produced music videos.
After a 15 year career with the Department of Defense as a licensed Professional Engineer and certified Project Management Professional, Leah made the bold decision to step away from federal service and pursue her lifelong dream of making music full time. Her transition from engineering leader to country artist is a testament to the very stories she tells—of courage, heart, and chasing what sets your soul on fire.
Raised in Tacoma, WA, Leah’s musical journey began with Disney sing-alongs, musical theater, and pageants, and eventually led her to Nashville, where she recorded her debut album under multi-platinum producer Kenny Royster. A natural performer with a deep love for connection and country storytelling, Leah has shared the stage with artists like Rodney Atkins, James Otto, Love & Theft, Andy Griggs, and Alana Springsteen.
Her original music is rooted in honesty, faith, and resilience, with songs that speak to military families, women finding their voice, and anyone brave enough to start over. Known for her emotional range and vocal control, Leah’s work has earned praise for its blend of authenticity and professionalism.
Now based in Washington, Leah continues to write, record, and self-produce music videos that bring her songs to life visually and viscerally. Whether she’s headlining a hometown show, opening for a national act, or connecting with fans online, she’s building a movement of bold dreamers who believe it's never too late to rewrite your story.
