Onoleigh

Onoleigh knows what she wants to say. The 26-year old Mahomet, IL native has spent the past
few years in Nashville honing her sound and mastering her craft, but her story had begun years
before. As early as 16, Onoleigh began making frequent trips to Music City, where she was
quickly accepted into the Broadway circuit. She cut her teeth playing cover songs for tourists,
and learned to keep their attention with her powerful stage presence and stunning vocals. Early
champions including singer/songwriter John Oates (of Hall and Oates) and session musician
David Dorn helped her build her creative communities and find her voice in the writing room.
Fast forward to 2024, and Onoleigh travelled to LA for a writing trip with hit-making writer/
producer Emile Ghantous (Pitbull, Chris Brown, Boys II Men). Together, the two churned out a
collection of songs that perfectly encapsulated the sound Onoleigh had been working toward:
high-energy, explosive pop production coupled with heartfelt country lyrics. Topped, of course,
by Onoleigh’s signature powerhouse voice. Back in Nashville, Onoleigh added her beloved
organic instrumentation to the songs with the help of some of Nashville’s most acclaimed
studio musicians. And now, all that’s left to do is to share this music with the world.
