Marvel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Leisz started playing classical violin at a local children's music school when she was 6 years old and piano when she was 8. She graduated 7 years later and switched to electric bass at the age of 16. After graduating high school she moved to Tallinn in 2007. She was honored with the best instrumentalist prize at Uno Naissoo Compositions Contest in 2010. She has graduated from Georg Ots Tallinn Music school (2010), and Skurups Folkhögskola in Sweden (2011). She received her bachelor's degree (2014) and master's degree in Performance - Jazz at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm (2017). During her years in Sweden, she was touring Scandinavia with different jazz, pop and rock artists including Linnea Henriksson, Doug Seegers, Norrbotten Big Band and Ebbot Lundberg. In June 2015 she played at Stockholm Waterfront with Jackson Browne after his band members Greg Leisz and Bob Glaub discovered her playing on the streets of Stockholm. In 2016 she was honored with the Alice Babs Jazz Award and in 2017 she was nominated for the Jazz Cat Newcomer Award by Swedish radio. She can rock, too, but this is delightful.
