Growing up in New Zealand, Tw*nkles (Leigh Fitzjames) always had a clear view of the stars. A mixed race girl with a hard core work
ethic, she was passionate across the arts. Twinkles grew up performing in plays in Auckland City as an actress and singer, and took
on multiple projects as a producer, director and writer. Moving to NYC in 2012, Tw*nkles got stuck in to the jazz scene as a vocalist
and stage actor. She toured one woman show 'Love and Light' and wrote and starred in comedy series Con Artistes. Her success was
cut short by the end of her initial one year US visa and she began travelling alone throughout Thailand and India, working with the
local film industry as a screen actor and producer. She continued with music by performing in jazz bars. She stayed for a whole year
abroad, waiting anxiously for her US visa to come through. She'd already had a taste of the music industry in the USA and was
dreaming of the day she could be back. In 2014 she returned to NYC to unleash her new artist persona, Tw*nkles - a pop & R&B
infusion. Listen when you want a lyrical sponge for your doubts in life, you'll come out more hopeful.
