Singer/songwriter Jodie Leslie grew up in an Alberta farming community singing & performing since the age of 3. Having hauled her share of bales, pails, and shoveled her share of other things, Jodie started her career as a professional horse trainer in Vienna, Austria.  Her musical roots continued to call to her though, & so she began diligently writing & performing. Her vocals soon garnered her the opportunity to open for international star Bryan Adams, Gino Vannelli, and perform at the 2013 Grey Cup in Toronto, but this little 5 foot powerhouse always remained a country girl at heart!

Jodie has created four studio albums to date, & has been honoured to learn much from her mentors she has shared the stage with: Grand Ole Opry's Bill Anderson, John Conlee, Juice Newton, Michelle Wright, George Canyon, Charlie Major, The Stampeders, Trooper, Allanah Myles, Lee Aaron, & Harlequin. She has enjoyed performing her original material in Canada and the US, at the Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville, and some European spots.

Fans at her show agree:

“Jodie Leslie delivers performances with a punch and panache! She is an unpretentious soul who sparkles & puts her audience first....”

“A haunting powerful voice!”

“Fresh country music that is both new sounding and vintage! Rocking country sounds give way to beautiful ethereal ballads. What a performer!! I liked the live show even more! I’m hooked!!”

Her new album “Born For The Unknown” is produced by Nashville's Todd Robbins (engineer to Kelly Clarkson, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks) and features Grammy award winning Phil Madeira, & Bruce Bouton (Reba McIntyre), & is receiving radio air play with favorable reviews.

Released under Jodie's Label "Jo Bug Records", with International Distribution, most of the musical pieces on Jodie's four commercially released albums are written by her. She has enjoyed writing songs for film including Linda Hamilton's Film "Refuge", international company "From The Earth Naturally", and "Veteran's Voices of Canada". Jodie is always seeking to learn more, and work with others!
