Above all, Leona Berlin’s music is authentic. It’s a dedication to curiosity and profundity and a refreshing change from mainstream culture. Of course, every piece of her heavenly delightful alternative soul is self-written and self-produced. Her work is an intoxicating blend of hip hop, r&b and a wide range of contemporary influences.
After acclaimed collaborations with international heavyweights like Snoop Dogg, Casey Benjamin and Gregory Hutchinson, Leona dropped her new album ELEVATE at the end of 2025. Once again she pushes her sound forward, blending introspective lyrics and rap with driving grooves, teaming up among others with Canadian-Tamil rapper SVDP.

BlueInGreen: (…) Far from an artist that plays it safe or sticks to traditional formulas, Berlin is constantly seeking to express varying facets of her music and character. (…)
Music Fashion Blog: (…) Berlin can certainly be counted in to this cutting edge group of lady leaders as her talents are undeniable in all aspects of her artistry. (…)
Focus: (…) Leona Berlin’s timbre is clear and scratchy, her articulation has something compelling to it that you won’t forget, and her artistic idealism is a clear trump card. (…)
HR-Fernsehen: (…) Anyone who listens to Leona Berlin will notice one thing above everything else: Her crystal-clear, powerful voice that is difficult to elude from. (…)
