Soprano LeAndra Head has been singing almost since she could speak. At the age of three, she sang Whitney Houston’s ‘Run to You’ for her parents—professional photographer Andrea De Silva and former US Marine Corps Master Sergeant Leroy Head Jr—successfully scaling high notes even seasoned performers are reluctant to attempt.
“I have a vague memory of this; certainly my mother and other relatives have spoken about this,” she said. “I remember always loving songs and singing them from just hearing them. I’ve always loved singing; it’s in my DNA, so to speak.”
Her vocal abilities earned her Best Soloist honours for three consecutive years at the popular SanFest music festival. Her first public performance was at the popular children’s talent contest Twelve and Under, broadcast on Trinidad and Tobago Television (TTT) and hosted by television icon Hazel Ward-Redman.
Just nine years old at the time, Head placed second with a spellbinding rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’, and earned the Joy Caesar trophy, which is awarded to the series’ most outstanding vocalist. Read More
