About Leigh Torana

Shipley Glenn, 2025

Leigh Torana is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from Leeds who uses their music to promote understanding and change within the children’s social care system. Exploring themes of loss, resilience, and hope, Leigh draws from their own lived experience to write emotionally beautiful songs. Following the release of their debut single "TOUCH//ALONE", Leigh played a set at the historic Cavern Club in Liverpool. Leigh's debut EP "Hope" is currently in production and is scheduled for release in 2027.

After growing up in the children's social care system, Leigh became an advocate for care-experienced people across the country. They started volunteering as a Young People's Benchmarking Forum (YPBMF) Champion in 2021, where they began speaking about their experiences within the care system to help promote change in the rights, entitlements, and experiences of care leavers. Leigh is now a YPBMF Legend and, with support from Catch22, attended Community Links Studios in 2024, where they recorded their debut single, "TOUCH//ALONE". This inspired Leigh to study Songwriting and Artist Development at ICMP Leeds.
