Leslie Mosier

Music, in both creation and performance, is obviously a deep passion for seventeen-year-old singer/songwriter Leslie Mosier. She started piano lessons at age four (in Hawaii), began playing flute in the fourth grade (in Iceland), and rapidly exhibited great musical skill and a love for being on stage. Although her piano and flute studies concentrated on a classical repertoire, Leslie’s true interests leaned more toward pop-rock. Attending rock concerts and seeing other young performers on stage made Leslie eager to expand her musical horizons, so for her thirteenth birthday she asked for and received an acoustic guitar. Exhibiting incredible music creativity and gifted with perfect pitch and a MacBook Pro, Leslie began crafting songs on her own in high school (Chesapeake, Virginia). She finally shared one of her songs with a friend, the extremely talented artist Dave Melillo (Nocturnal Me, Cute is What We Aim For), who put her in contact with his awesome producer/engineer, Mike Brylinski (Goo Goo Dolls, Cute is What We Aim For) and an EP was born. “Single Moment,” Leslie’s debut EP release, has four songs written and sung by herself and a duet written by and performed with Dave Melillo. Backed up by axeman Jeff Czum and the very talented Mikey Lasaponara on drums, Leslie’s songs display the feelings of a typical teenager dealing with everyday situations. “Single Moment” is about wanting that one moment when the person you love begins to love you back. “Straight to You” deals with telling someone the way you feel about them. The up-beat, catchy “Change” tells us to embrace change as it’s bound to come anyway. “Harmony to Me” uses the language of music to describe feelings for another. In the duet, “Butterfly”, Leslie’s harmonies highlight Dave’s beautifully crafted melody and lyrics. Although Leslie is only 17, her EP displays the musical experience of someone much older. Her honest, engaging lyrics and catchy tunes result in songs that you’ll find yourself singing in your head long after you’ve listened to them. “Single Moment” is an incredible debut from a very incredible singer/writer who’s obviously going far.
