Leanne Goose is a showstopper. Her powerful voice & energy are apparent. Leanne is well known in the North for her strong voice & diversity. Whether singing country standards, blues, to rock & pop, she owns the room. Leanne has a reputation of making each song all her own.

Leanne began singing at the age of 13 & comes from a family of musicians. Leanne started out traveling with her father's band, developing her style & building her audience. Her father, Louie has maintained his position as one of the North's finest performers with a career spanning over 40 years & still going strong.

She has come along way through hard work, & mentoring. Leanne was born and raised in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.  Her family & traditional life experiences traveling the Mackenzie River Valley to Arctic Coast of the Yukon & NWT fuels her passion for music.

This is a series of firsts for Leanne; song writing, front (wo)man for her first band, learning the recording process. Leanne just finished recording her debut CD set for release in 2007.
