About Hope Leigh Rollins:
Hope is a local singer songwriter who is an alumni of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and American University, But before all of that, when she was four years old, Hope Leigh became a performer. Attending an arts preschool, she insisted on giving nightly violin and recorder concerts on the stage in her home [ to her it was stage, to the masses it was a fireplace ]. 2 decades later she was still playing on stages, but this …time, they were real. With her debut album ” Hey Mom, Look What I Can Do” which was released on Valentines day of this year, Hope is moving to Los Angeles at the end of the summer to pursue a career in music full time. Hope Leigh is a fresh voice for the times. Her tunes flirt with acoustic indie and pop and stand on a foundation of classical training . Her powerful voice is filled with emotion, and gives the listener a new take on a wide range of genres , making contemporary covers her own and delivering her original music with truth and charm.
