Geboortedatum	04-09-1985
Land	Nederland

Leonie Meijer studeerde aan het Amsterdamse conservatorium en weet in 2010 de kwartfinale te bereiken bij de Grote Prijs van Nederland. Later dat jaar neemt ze deel aan The Voice Of Holland waar ze als vierde eindigt. Met Lost In Yesterday, haar finalenummer, weet ze een kleine hit te scoren in de Top 40, begin 2011. Een paar maanden later scoort ze met haar voormalige Voice-coach Jeroen Van Der Boom een hit met Los Van De Grond. Die single komt op nummer 13 en wordt haar grootste succes in ons land. In het najaar verschijnt haar debuutalbum, Los. Van dat album weten Schaduw en Hey de Top 40 te bereiken. Niemand Als Jij en Wacht Tot Ik Bij Je Ben zijn daarna singles die in de Tipparade blijven steken.

In 2014 maakt Meijer weer Engelstalige nummers, waarbij Won’t Come Out snel wordt opgepikt mede dankzij de uitvoering waarop ook Brainpower te horen is.

In 2017 tourt Leonie met haar derde tour langs de Nederlandse theaters. Daarbij staat haar reis door de Verenigde Staten centraal waarbij ze intieme optredens gaf in cafés in Nashville en Memphis. In oktober verschijnt haar single Life Goes On.

Songtekst

If you want me to believe
Your crazy lies
There's only one mistake
Cause I can see it in your eyes
From miles away
No way that you can hide
So go ahead and save yourself
I won't

And if you think you can disguise
Your tearful eyes
I wouldn't be so sure
There's only one thing I will say
So hear me out
I'm gonna let you go
Oh boy I'm gonna pray this time

That you won't come back
Won't come back
I'm out of patience now, I'm begging you please
That you won't come back
Won't come back
There's no way it's gonna change somehow
That you won't come back (Won't come back)
Won't come back (Won't come back)
There's no way it's gonna be so different now

Listen girl, that's your part of the story
But is it the truth
Cause you push you pull
And then you're sticking the move
You say: don't come back
Yet you hold me tight
I got to speak my mind
Because something ain't right (Right)
It's this way
It's like a mystery
Now what you see in my eyes
Is what you did to me
And now it's all my fault
And I'm the bad guy
And you're free without me
That's a sad lie
So do your thing
Cause I don't need to play
Please stay away
And me too, I pray that

That you won't come back
Won't come back
I'm out of patience now, I'm begging you please
That you won't come back
Won't come back
There's no way it's gonna change somehow
That you won't come back (Won't come back)
Won't come back (Won't come back)
There's no way it's gonna be so different now
Won't come back (Won't come back)
Won't come back (Won't come back)
There's no way it's gonna be so different now

It can't stay the same
You'd better stay away
You wanna play that game

Only playing the game
And no one to blame
So don't come back (Hey, hey)

Don't come back (Don't come back)
Don't come back (Don't come back)
Don't come back
Don't come back
Don't come back (Don't come back)
Don't come back (Don't come back) (Stay away)
Don't come back (Stay away)
Don't come back
Don't come back (Yo, and me too, I pray that)

That you won't come back (Won't come back)
Won't come back (Won't come back)
There's no way it's gonna be so different now
Won't come back (Won't come back)
Won't come back (Won't come back)
There's no way it's gonna be so different now
