Leah Wills grew up in small towns in Maryland and Virginia. After attending The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts, she continued her education at Shenandoah Conservatory.

A few favorite creative experiences of Leah’s include working opposite Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson in the upcoming film LILLY about the life of fair-pay activist Lilly Ledbetter, singing at Carnegie Hall in Eric Whitacre’s Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings (conducted by Whitacre), and dressing up as a unicorn to celebrate the return of Chipotle’s boo-rito for an ad under the direction of Pablo Rochat.
