Hey everybody! Thanks for stopping by my page. Welcome!!
So let me fill all of you in on what I've been doing and what I'm about. I'm 21, I'm a singer/songwriter from Dublin and I've been working on my debut album for the past year. I'm signed to Religion Music and licensed to Jive Records and I'm working with Jeff Fenster, who is the A&R on this album. I began the first writing session with Dave Hodges in L.A a week after I signed with Jive. On that day, we wrote the first track for the album "Come Back".
From there, I left L.A and began working with Max Martin, who later became the executive producer for the whole album. I had one day of writing with Max in Stockholm and on that day we wrote our first song together "Here For You Now" which you can listen to on this page. Afterwards we spent much more time together writing and becoming great friends. We wrote 6 songs together.
I've had some amazing experiences traveling around and working with such accomplished writers including Max Martin, Dr. Luke,Savan, Rami, Per Aldeheim,Camela, Nordhanson (writing/production group in Stockholm), Mitch Allen, Dave Hodges, Kara Dioguardi, Desmond Child, Andreas Carlson, Greg Wells, Katy Perry, Diane Warren, EMan, and Lindi Roberts. Unfortunately, not all the songs I wrote with these people have made it to the album but I have had the best time of my life working with these people.
There are a couple of themes that run through the album, evolving around the many different aspects in relationships, whether it is loss of love, not wanting to be in love, trying to help a friend through their own issues, struggling through death of a friend, unrequited love and the happiness and excitement of being in love. There is also a sense of not wanting to be hurt and trying to stand up for yourself after a difficult relationship.
I mostly like to write my lyrics from a personal point of view but have found it was also useful to write from a storytelling side as well, where I have observed situations and made them into my own little stories like short films.
I love writing and performing and can't wait to start playing for all the people that have showed their support through messages here on myspace. Everybody at Jive have showed a lot of love and respect for what I'm trying to say and accomplish and have given me the time and space to write the album that I'm proud of. I can't wait to work alongside all the people whom I have not worked with yet at the label. Everybody at home has given me a lot of support also and I'm so grateful for the patience my friends have had with me over the past year.
For all of you who will read this: Thanks!! I want to perform for you all and show you my music and how I see the world. I hope you enjoy the songs here on my page. Stop by to send me a message any time! I will get back to you.
I hope you enjoy my music as much as I have making it. Much love, Lesley Roy* xxxxxxx
