As long as I can remember, I have been singing. I sang before I talked. I’m told I kept time to music in my crib.
Like many vocal artists, I found a channel for my talent through my church choir. I sang my way from home, to church, and through school. I have always been interested in performing.
In elementary school I was introduced to drama. At that time, I discovered I had a real flair for theater arts, and I wrote and directed my own play. I was so fascinated with what I had learned that I decided to continue my studies. At this very early age, I decided to pursue a career on stage with my music.
I extended my opportunities by studying acting for television and film at Stage One Theatre. I have continued my training with private vocal lessons. Bringing joy and happiness to the world through a professional career in music is my heart’s desire. I was born to Jeff and Tressie Hall in Palo Alto, California. My mother was a housewife and very supportive of my father, who served in the United States Navy. My father served in the European-African -Middle Eastern Theater and was awarded three stars, APO Medal and was discharged in 1946.
Part of a family of fifteen brothers and sisters (all living in California), I’m blessed during a midst of confusion I met my soul mate. Unfortunately, I lost my soul mate in March 2007 when he was age forty-nine years old. I am, with my friends and family support, beginning to achieve my desire for a career in music. Over the last few years, I have continued successfully adding more genres to my music catalog. Genres ranging from Ballads, R&B, Adult Contemporary, Pop, Dance, Disco club style songs.
Over a decade released a variety of music multiple singles under her label Erica Leonard Entertainment. EP release Fall 2024 with four songs and videos to follow. It has been a journey learning, creating and working to accomplish a balance between work and play. “I thank the world for your interest in my music says Erica”.
THIS TIME BABY
PRESS RELEASE
My business idea started with a goal and determination to succeed. My passion for the arts of music had me establish my own publishing company. I began writing at an early age in life. My passion turned into a craft to create something beautiful to share. As a single parent raising two children financing my business was difficult. I had the motivation and determination to succeed in a career in the music industry. Learning the basics of the industry working as an intern for a record label in California. This knowledge empowered me to reach my highest depths and endeavors. As time progressed, I started my own publishing company to advance my career. This I knew would be costly and the thought overwhelmed me tremendously. I put one foot in front of each other and began my journey. It was not easy I had many roadblocks along the way to divert me from my goal. My persistence rounded me to continue and not give up. Seven years later I established my own publishing company. Erica Leonard Publishing is an entertainment company providing original lyrics for musical compositions. Music collections range from ballads, pop, disco, r&b, adult contemporary, and electronic dance music. Servicing radio and television music available on all digital platforms.
