Leah Emmott, a competitive swimmer, and always interested in skateboarding and pretty much any sport, had grown tired of her piano and guitar lessons, she was just bored of it all. Her father had a drum kit and Leah suddenly took a strong interest in pounding on them making a lot of racket so sure enough she was put into lessons. Leah is a firm believer in lessons, her female drum teacher has taught Leah to play loud and proud and has been a strong influence and positive role model. Leah likes to improve with lessons, combined with weekly jazz combo jams, vocal choir, practicing on the sax and in her spare time she writes songs on the guitar. Her work ethic is apparent and her motto is "preparation meets opportunity" and she is certainly prepared. Meeting Foxx backstage at a school talent show proved to be the final piece of the puzzle. Both were playing acoustic guitar in the show and Foxx commiserated that she really would rather be playing the bass Leah agreed except her heart lay with the drums. The rest is about to become musical history.
