Leona Nørskov Jørgensen is a 26-year-old Sheffield native known for her music and singing, particularly on social media. Leona has been busking for many years and has shared her sets on various platforms, gaining both praise and notoriety as a talented and unique young musician.
You can find her on Instagram @norskovmusic1 and on TikTok at @norskovmusic.
Leona appeared on the 10th edition of The Voice UK and was chosen to be part of Anne-Marie's team after a nail-biting, will-they / won't-they (turn around their chairs) initial audition! She spectacularly made it to the final few on the programme before narrowly missing out on a place in the grand final. Leona's notable appearances include performances of 'Sunflower' by Post Malone and Swae Lee and 'Holy' by Justin Bieber.
Leona currently has a single out with Rudimental called 'Straight from the Heart'. She recently starred in our line-up of acts at 'Aldinebury', the festival we run for young people at a secure unit in Sheffield… and she was ace!
Hence the reason why she has a coveted guest spot in our Professionals' Corner this month. Massive thanks to Leona and all the best for the future, from us here at YY&M!
