Press Release Summary: Sixteen Year Old Musical Prodigy Prepares Pop/Top 40 Debut
for May 20 Release


Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA, March 11, 2008: From candy apple lips to
pleated miniskirts to side-propped berets, sixteen-year-old Lea Marie has a style of
her own in a sea of recording artists. But style alone is not the element that
continues to ignite interest from some of the most knowledgeable professionals in
the music industry. \"Lea Marie\'s got it all - the voice, the songs, and the look,\"
states Jason Blume, an industry veteran and songwriter for artists such as Britney
Spears and the Backstreet Boys. \"I\'ve worked with countless songwriters and have
rarely found any who show as much talent and promise...\"

Trained in dance at 3 years old and classical piano and guitar since the age of 10,
Lea Marie advanced quickly and was labeled a musical prodigy before her career even
began. Today she is a singer, songwriter, and one of the youngest producers in the
business. On May 20, she will share her talent worldwide with the release of her
self-titled debut, \"Lea Marie.\" Five of the album\'s tracks, \"World of Wonders,\"
\"Your Brother\'s Girl,\" \"The Player,\" \"Alex,\" and \"Memories,\" are currently available
for preview on Lea Marie\'s website and her MySpace and YouTube pages. The single,
"World Of Wonders," is currently debuting across several internet channels including
Facebook, Reverb Nation, Imeem, Pure Volume and YouTube.

The encouraging response is partially due to Lea Marie\'s review by Music Connection
Magazine. In October 2007, the publication named \"World of Wonders\" and \"Your
Brother\'s Girl\" the \"#1 Pop Demo of 2007.\" \"Hard to imagine a package that\'s
tighter than this one,\" wrote Music Connection. \"In every way, 16-year-old (Lea)
Marie\'s music and visual presentation are commercially viable.\"

For Lea Marie, positive feedback and career-building reviews are simply the results
of a lifetime of hard work. \"Music has always been a part of me,\" says Lea Marie.
\"I\'ve been a singer from the time I could walk.\" The performer\'s talent was
initially recognized in 2001 when, at 8 years old, Lea Marie was chosen for the role
of Shirley Temple and danced alongside tap-legend Gregory Hines in Showtime
Network\'s feature film, \"Bojangles.\" One year later, Lea Marie appeared in the
starring role of Baby Jane for the world premiere of the musical, \"Whatever Happened
to Baby Jane?\"

This year, Lea Marie is set to make her mark as a viable asset to the music
industry. In a business so fiercely competitive, \"Lea Marie\'s talent and work ethic
put her at the top of my list of teen singer/songwriters most likely to succeed,\"
states John Braheny, author of \"The Craft and Business of Songwriting.\"
Fortunately, Lea Marie seems to have it all figured out... and she has the accolades
to prove it. For more information on Lea Marie, visit her website at
