Leona Lewis: Headed For Success
With her new album earning rave reviews from fans and critics alike, Leona Lewis looks to be on her way to a long and successful career in the music business.
The 23-year-old singer was spotted out promoting her recent studio release, Spirit, leaving a taping of the Jimmy Kimmel Show in Hollywood on Friday (April 11).
Of becoming the first British female singer to score a No. 1 single in two decades (for her hit single Bleeding Love), Leona told press: “I still can’t believe it. I’m trying to get my head around it. It’s such an amazing achievement.”
And while she’s a relatively new name in the States, Leona has already amassed a fan base in England after winning Simon Cowell’s American Idol-esque talent show The X-Factor last year.
“The show has given me an amazing platform and Simon has given me an amazing platform,” she says. “You never know if that would’ve been accessible if I had not done the show and have met him. I think of him as someone who’s guiding me in my career and really opening doors that would never have been opened before.”
