Leah Berry
Jazz Vocalist Leah Berry is quickly establishing herself as a notable emerging figure in the Sydney jazz scene. She is an impressive performer, improviser and lyricist, who captivates audiences with her storytelling, and velvety tone. Leah concluded her bachelor’s degree studying Jazz Vocal Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2024 and is eager to continue her growth as a musician in Sydney and Australia.
Discovering the voice of Ella Fitzgerald in high school, Leah connected with the storytelling and improvisation that jazz offered and fell in love with the music. She continues to take huge inspiration from jazz greats such as Ella, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter and Anita O’Day. With the support of the Sydney Conservatorium, Leah attended the Siena Jazz International Summer Workshop in 2024 where she learnt from prestigious musicians such as Melissa Aldana, Theo Bleckmann, Yumi Ito, Jen Shyu, Ethan Iverson, Joe Sanders and Lage Lund.
Leah regularly performs around Sydney as both a band leader and booked vocalist. Most recently with emerging eleven-piece band, Symphonette, led by Harry Sutherland and Yannick Koffi. Additionally, she has featured with ten-piece band, Mosaic, recording her original lyrics to Chiara Minotto’s composition ‘Come Rain or Shine’ on Mosaic’s album ‘Where We Are Now’ in 2024.
As part of the Inner West Jazz Fest in late August 2025, Leah joined forces with jazz veteran Mike Nock, presenting a set of her lyrics to his compositions, solidifying her unique voice in the Australian jazz scene as a lyricist and performer.
In 2023, Leah recorded a mix of her arrangements and originals at 2MBS Fine Music on Emergent Jazz with Keith Pettigrew, who stated the recording features “…superb scatting and vocalising by Leah… This is a voice of our jazz future.”
