Louise Leggatt

Namibian born Louise began a professional singing career in Cape Town in the early 90’s. Her perfect voice is smooth and soothing and contributed tremendously to popular South African band Rubber Soul’s successful airplay on national radio. Her presence on stage and in the recording studio exudes a humble and calm confidence with a wicked easy-going sense of humour.

Her musical influences include Tori Amos, Fleetwood Mac and The Cardigans among many others. At age 10 she met Sonja Heroldt at a signing in Windhoek which perhaps explains her beautiful cover vocal execution on the Beetles and Butterflys album Mountain Rock Valley Roll, of Sonja’s “Ek Verlang Na Jou”, which features amongst an eclectic melodic mix of original songs from Kent O’Shea and Louise.  
     

Her artistic vocal style touches one’s very soul and her uniqueness is evident in that she cannot be compared to anyone except Louise.

She has developed a deep and emotional song writing style, no doubt recently also influenced by the beauty of the natural surroundings of Wilderness, where she lives.
