Leah Shoshanah is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter and Spiritual musician whose deeply felt, soulful music grows from folk, pop, funk, rock and jazz. Over the past decade, Shoshanah has sung on historic stages in Chicago and across the world. In 2019, Shoshanah played a 51-date tour in Germany. When she returned, she began writing the music for her latest album, To Be Free, which received funding from a Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs (DCASE) grant.
To Be Free follows Shoshanah’s two studio albums and three singles. In this album, Shoshanah explores an electrified sound with inspiration from 70s disco and the Brooklyn funk-pop scene.
As a Spiritual musician, Shoshanah leads community singing for healing and transformation. Her “Spirit Jam” workshops guide people from all walks of life toward improvised vocal jamming. Shoshanah is also known for her original Jewish music, which she shares around the country and as a Cantorial Soloist with Tzedek Chicago.
