Tanya Leah is an award-winning, multi platinum-selling artist/songwriter who began singing and playing her songs in the NY/NJ club circuit at an early age. She became a regular at the world-famous “Bitter End” in NY’s Greenwich Village, which allowed her to hone her craft and connect with other aspiring artists and writers.  She toured with her own music and as a sideman with other artists, sharing the stage with the likes of Alison Krause, Dee Carstensen, Jonatha Brooke, Sinead O’Connor, John Hiatt and more.  During those early years, she supported her songwriting by singing on other writer’s demos and on national jingles including Coca-Cola, M&Ms, and Downy, to name a few.

She traveled the NY-Nashville-LA songwriting circuit trying to make her way, and got lucky when her first song that was recorded by another artist also became her first #1 song. That, and much pavement-pounding, ultimately landed her her first publishing deal and launched her songwriting career.  Since then, Tanya has had a number of gold and platinum records, and singles that have reached into the top forty, including three more that have reached number one.  The list of artists who have recorded her songs is long and varied and includes stars such as Melinda Doolittle, Wynonna Judd, Agnes Carlsson, Lesley Gore, Natalie Grant, and many more.  Also, her songs have been heard in numerous tv shows such as “How I Met Your Mother”, “Dawson’s Creek”, “The Hills”, and others.
