Leslie is currently working on a new album for release next year, co-writing songs with an exciting array of top pop and Latin songwriters. Proving that she is an unstoppable force in today’s competitive music industry, Leslie has been dubbed the “Princess of Bachata,” which is traditionally a man’s world. Bachata is a genre of Latin music originating from the Dominican Republic, her parents’ birthplace.
Born in the Bronx to a Dominican household, Leslie was heavily influenced by the culture she was brought up in, but submerged herself in the bustling culture of the city, forming the unique style she has today. Leslie says of her upcoming album, “It’s an exciting fusion of a lot of different influences. I just want to bring some of those Dominican flavors to my music while also being innovative and pop-oriented, so it’s something my generation can understand. A lot of us have parents who migrated here from other countries and we want to be respectful of those roots and musical influences. But at the same time, we were born here so we want to have some American pop culture with some R&B and hip-hop going on. I feel like I’m right there between these two incredible worlds, and I enjoy doing both.”
