What's going on everybody? Hope you all are super-fantastically awesome! (SUPER-FANTASTICALLY IS A WORD, I'M USING A HOMEMADE DICTIONARY!) In my latest video, I took on the Andy Grammer hit, "Fine By Me!" It is one of my favourites from him. So catchy, so pop, and so cool! It's got such a great, upbeat, chill out vibe. Everytime I hear, I have to crank up the volume and sing the lyrics, as best as I can to my heart's content! It just makes you feel good, warm, and happy! Please enjoy the video, it's posted below.

Nearly a month ago I was going through a box of CD's and found an old demo I had recorded during my final year of high school. The memories came flooding back instantly! I had applied to a music production program for college and that was the main reason for making the demo. At the time, I had been writing lyrics for just over 3 years. My library to pick from was pretty big! So the task at hand was to choose pieces that I felt were the most honest representation of me during that time period. The music used on the recordings were instrumentals to previously released hits from other artists because at the time, I had no understanding of song structure, timing, or a way to compose my own instrumentals. The demo consisted of 3 tracks, two of which were about Mrs. of the moment, and the other was a tribute piece for someone I was very close to. In total, I recorded the three tracks over a 3 day period, while in school. The music teacher allowed me to use his office as a small studio, which I still am very grateful for. He also mixed and mastered the demo for me, which was a massive help and something I will never forget. Unfortunately, I did not get into the music production program, but I have improved immensely since this demo was recorded. I am still writing, still recording, and the words and ideas never stop coming now. Since I started writing my own lyrics nearly 12 years ago, I have grown in every single way, as a person and as an artist and performer. I have never wanted to do anything else. Writing, performing, and producing is where I hang my hat, and that is where it will stay for a long, long time. Thank you. Sincerely, Leigh "L.T." Tenebro-Dickey
"It Was No Dream", a song I wrote back in 2007 right before I recorded the demo. It is actually the only track on the demo where my timing was on point! The instrumental used in this original recording is from Craig David's, "7 Days!"
Not too, too long ago I decided to record a freestyle over the massively popular Brad Paisley hit, "River Bank." I love everything about the original song! It is wonderfully written and produced. I especially love the guitars and the drum patterns. It is nothing short of the perfect summer song! A tune to crank the volume on, grab an ice cold beer, and just soak in all the good times! I am huge fan of country music, and that is a well known fact. So, creating an opportunity to where I can perform over the instrumental to one of my favourite songs was a no brainer! To this day, "River Bank" is a song that always, always makes me want to dance, whether I am walking down the street or sitting at my desk! I hope you all enjoy my freestyle to this awesome, awesome song! Thank you! Sincerely, Leigh "L.T." Tenebro-Dickey
