Ever since she can remember, Leah Turner's life involved Country music in some way, shape or form.
"Being raised by a cowboy -- my dad's a professional team roper in the rodeo -- we were gone on the rodeo circuit Thursdaythrough Sunday," explains the singer. "Country music has always been the foundation that I stand on and the soundtrack to my childhood and what I was raised on."
So when it came time for the California girl to pack up and head to Music City, it was a moment of nerves. "I was scared to leave, because I'm really close to my mom and dad," she admits. "I had some amazing opportunities in California, but I never felt settled. I prayed about it, and I hopped a flight on a prayer via Southwest, and was coming back and forth for about a year. Then I just decided I needed to jump in head first, as I do with everything in life. I packed up everything I could in my car, and my bulldog Diesel, and we drove across the country with one of my best friends."
And it has paid off for the singer-songwriter. She is currently on the road opening shows for Brad Paisley this summer.
