WHAT IT IS: They say pressure creates diamonds, and under the heat, tension and force of the world, the truest and realest artists are born. Long before Ledé emerged as a singer, multi-instrumentalist and actress, she underwent the kind of pressure that makes or breaks even the toughest. Channeling all her life’s experiences into music, she’s developed into one of the most promising and intriguing young stars. Her song “Big Spender” was featured on the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, which has so far generated 25m+ streams globally. And with over 67m+ views, she’s solidified as a true YouTube sensation. Even more impressive, her songs have generated more than 191m streams globally in under a year. It’s only a matter of time before her talents connect on a global scale.
