Leslie combines her passion for songwriting and storytelling with powerful alto vocals to the stage with depth and range, and her performance goal is simple: to engage the audience, and tell compelling stories through songs that connect with listeners:
“So many of my original songs are inspired by coaching clients I’ve worked with, and the coaching practices I design as part of their programs. Music is such a powerful storytelling force for humans, and because we learn most effectively through stories, music has the power to help us connect to our own truth through the stories of others’ experiences.”
Leslie has performed many musical genres: Rock, Blues, Funk, R&B, Pop, Roots, Swing, and Jazz. She currently fronts popular Ottawa groups 'LESLIE ROHONCZY Band' and 'MUMBOLOCO'. She has performed with popular Ottawa groups ‘Cougar’, ‘Moondogs’, ‘The Runes’, ‘8 To The Bar!’ and ‘Girls Like Us’.
Leslie has twelve years of Royal Conservatory training in piano and music theory. She also plays soprano, alto and tenor saxophones, flute, ukulele, and a myriad of percussion instruments. Leslie is a Certified Integral Master Coach™ specializing in performance & vocal coaching.
