Three legendary music moguls joined forces Thursday night in New York City to showcase the talented new R&B singer Leah LaBelle, at the exclusive Tribeca Grand Hotel, and Allie is Wired was there for the VIP party and the spectacular debut performance of the young rising star.

Leah was a 12th place contestant on American Idol, but Pharrell first discovered her through her YouTube videos.
He told the crowd Thursday that he saw a seasoned talent in the videos and knew she could hold her own when he chose to collaborate with Jermaine Dupri at So So Def. The partnership between So So Def, and i am OTHER, Pharrell’s entertainment company, set up the introduction with L.A. Reid, Chairman and C.E.O. of Epic Records.



What these three powerful gentlemen have found is a rare thing. Leah is someone who can actually sing her heart out and doesn’t need much more than a live band and a microphone to shine on stage.
