SAVANNAH LEIGHTON

Savannah's grandfather, who recently passed away, influenced her singing career the most. She started singing in church at age two, took piano lessons at age eight and began songwriting and taught herself guitar at 13. She entered a singing competition called Voice of Rome in Georgia and placed second in front of a crowd of 2,000. She works at a local steakhouse and spends all her time gigging at festivals and restaurants.
