Leony - Live 2024
presented by Kulturnews & BRAVO
She topped the German airplay charts for eight weeks with her singles "Faded Love" and "Remedy". "Remedy" also conquered the airplay charts in Switzerland, France, Austria, Finland, Romania and climbed to #5 in the Official German Sales Charts.
In 2022, Leony was also nominated for an MTV EMA in the category "Best German Act", as well as for the 1Live-Krone in the categories "Best Artist", "Best Song (Remedy)" and "Best Hip-Hop/R&B Song (Follow with Kontra K and Sido)". She has also been a judge on the anniversary season of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" since January 2023.
She now has more than 800 million streams worldwide and has worked with stars such as Alan Walker, Sam Feldt, Dimitri Vegas, Steve Aoki, Masked Wolf, Pascal Letoublon, VIZE, Capital Bra and many more. But Leony not only celebrates great success with her own singles, she also shines as a songwriter for other artists. For example, she was a songwriter on the mega-hit "Never Let Me Down" by VIZE & Tom Gregory. The song received gold and platinum awards in Germany, Canada, Poland, Austria and Switzerland. She also co-wrote the VIZE & Tokio Hotel single "White Lies", which has also been certified gold.
Leony says: "It is the most beautiful thing to be able to make music every day with your best friends and it is the greatest privilege for me to be able to do what I love most every day".
The year 2023 begins for Leony with the release of her new single. The 25-year-old singer & songwriter has already incorporated many personal stories into her songs, but her current single "Somewhere In Between" is definitely the most honest so far:
"From a young age, people have tried to pigeonhole me. Either I was too 'much' for the people from my home country or too 'little' or the sweet Bavarian girl for everyone else. They said 'you need to be recognizable' and I got totally distracted by that and lost myself a bit in the search for who I was supposed to be. 'Somewhere In Between' is about exactly that. That I am both Leony, the self-confident woman on stage, on TV and on the radio, and Leonie, the songwriter and the lovely, sensitive girl from Bavaria. I'm somewhere in between and many things at the same time and that's exactly what makes me who I am."
Leony has found herself and doesn't need pink hair or PR-staged scandals. That's exactly what she sings about in "Somewhere In Between". The single also heralded the release of her debut album of the same name on March 24.
She also played her first headlining tour in Germany in May. Last summer, she toured all over Europe for the first time: "For the first time in my life, I was able to play on great stages all summer long and realized how much it fulfills me!"
