SHAZA-LEIGH

2007 Female Vocal of the Year Queensland Gold Medallions

LBS Music’s premier female artist scored the top prize in one of Queensland’s leading country music awards over the weekend.

 Shaza Leigh was named 2007 Female Vocal of the Year at the Queensland Gold Medallion Awards in Toowoomba on Friday night for the third time.

 Selected in two other finalist categories Touring Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, Shaz is a Queensland radio favourite winning the trifecta 2005 2006 & the 2007 esteemed female category.

 The magic carpet ride that started at last year’s 2006 Tamworth Hands of Fame induction is still flying high for the Tamworth-based artist who still spends many months at the Gold Coast’s Robina studio and touring in Queensland.  Her latest album Strength Within scored more than a few honours of its own since its release.

 Old Calare - the heartfelt song about losing on the land co-written with the late Greg Gordon hitting 18 on CMR Country Charts Top 30 was named a big winner at last year’s Qld Medallions and a finalist in the 2007 Australian Bush Ballad Awards;

 Fiddlers Creek - No 9 on CMR Country charts written by Gold Coast writer Brenda Lee Heathcote and scoring a second Top 10 spot for Shaz.  This one about love’s penance between the country and the city.

 Shaza’s latest NfS release Beyond Vision - by NZ writer Ginny Peters and filmed for television in Tamworth is out now on NfS113.

 And in January this year the album title track and Shaz original Strength Within took the major gospel award at the national TSA Songwriters’ Salute Awards.

 Still in Queensland at the LBS Robina Studios before returning to the principle studio and home base in Tamworth Shaza can be contacted on 07-55621292 or mobile 0412605488.

LBS Music Australia principle female recording artist

SHAZA-LEIGH releases single to European market

 

 

LBS Music’s premier female artist Shaza-Leigh has released her first single to European radio listeners through Canadian distributor Hillcrest. 

 

‘Teach Your Children’ the Graham Nash|Crosby Stills Nash & Young recorded cover, is among the 12 tracks from her latest album ‘Strength Within’.  Already favoured among presenters, the feedback is spontaneous. 

 

Scotland’s Peggy MacNeil Head of Music Isles FM, Isle of Lewis says: What can I say! This Album is just simply divine - fabulous, brilliant, fantastic - not enough great words to describe it.  Range of artists is superb and so nice to see Declan Nerney included.  I think this is a CD which might possibly get played 'to death' ~Thanks for including a good few Christmas songs which will be put to good use in the build up to the festive season.  Decided to pick a favourite this month and it is Shaza Leigh with Teach Your Children - I just love this song and she sings it with such feeling.
