Singer-songwriter Lesley Goff has best expressed herself through music since her heart started beating. With folk, pop, country, and jazz tunes being played throughout her childhood home in Monona, she has a profound love and respect for each genre, all blended together to make for what she calls “serially sentimental” writing. Her family is her biggest source of support and inspiration, as she spent her impressionable years collecting stories and observing how her loved ones navigate life. After finishing school at Berklee College of Music in 2020, Lesley moved to Los Angeles to further develop her singing, songwriting, collaboration, and recording techniques. Now, having returned to her hometown of Monona with her heart back in rhythm, Lesley is ready to share her findings with the world and continue her education from the incredible local musicians who enrich lives the world over through their love of music. Listen to Lesley here.
