Leona Lewis – her secret album

By: Sam Davies

The Lewis family secret

The first photo in the Leona Lewis secret album would have been taken on the day she was born: April 3rd, 1985. Christened Leona Louise Lewis, Leona Lewis was born into a performing family. It’s no secret that her dad worked as a DJ – spinning many an album on the turntables – and her mum was a dance teacher. This may be the secret to the Leona Lewis phenomenon – it’s in her genes.

The next photo in the secret album would be of Leona with her brothers, Kyle Lewis and Bradley Lewis, Leona being the middle child of the three Lewis siblings. Leona Lewis started singing in secret more as less as soon as she could talk, so the secret photo album would no doubt have a few shots of Leona using a hairbrush as a microphone at the Lewis home.

One for the secret album

The album would probably not have any photos of Leona singing in the back of Mr Lewis’s car as they drove along, as it would be dangerous to use a camera at the wheel. So we would be denied the funny spectacle of the young Leona Lewis being caught out as her dad made a secret move to turn the old school album he was playing down – leaving Leona singing solo at the top of her voice!

The secret to Leona’s success

Another photo for the album would be her first day at the Sylvia Young school, which Lewis attended before enrolling in The Brits Academy in Croydon. This career path has proved the secret to success for many stars beside Leona Lewis who’ve gone on to make a best selling album.

The secret album would surely have a lot of photos of Leona doing the Lewis family proud as she won many a competition. In fact, the album would be full of them, including Leona at just 13, winning the Lady D under-18 talent contest at the Hackney Empire.

Leona’s secret jobs

It may be a secret to you that, before becoming famous with her first album release, Leona Lewis had several ordinary jobs. The secret album would probably contain pictures of her at work: Leona Lewis the Personal Assistant, Leona Lewis the waitress in a pizza restaurant, Leona Lewis the receptionist. They would not be the proudest moments captured in the secret album but, while her talent was still a secret to the rest of the world, Leona had to do something to keep the wolf from the door. It seems that there is a strong work ethic in the Lewis household.

Leona’s secret talents

Whilst Leona’s passion is singing, she’s also a proficient dancer and actor – so the secret album could well have pictures of Lewis strutting her stuff or treading the boards. If she hadn’t become a multi-million album selling recording artist, then who knows, we could have seen “Leona Lewis” up in lights on Broadway. We may yet – as Leona might have a secret desire to expand her career beyond recording album after album in future.

The not-so-secret factor

The secret photo album would obviously record the progress of Leona through the various rounds of the X-factor, which she went on to win. Leona singing “Over the rainbow” at the initial audition and “You light up my life” being given the Lewis treatment would surely be in the secret album.

The success of Leona’s first album would not go unrecorded in the photo album. It was the fastest selling album of 2007 – the secret no doubt being that her exposure on TV had everyone talking about Leona Lewis. Yet Leona had stayed out of the limelight, spirited away to record her album in secret. When Lewis returned it was as a more mature, rounded performer than the Leona Lewis we’d seen on the talent show. The anticipation of her album had pumped up hype and her secret publicity machine made sure that the Leona Lewis name was everywhere.

The rest of the secret photo album would probably be not so secret. We’ve all seen pictures of Leona attending awards ceremonies, flashing the trademark Lewis smile. It seems she is never out of the press these days – everyone wants a piece of Leona Lewis.

Leona’s secret love

Somewhere in the album, however, there would be bound to be a picture of her secret love - her pet Rotweiller – not the sort of dog you would expect Leona to have.

So that’s an imaginary peruse through the secret photo album of Leona Lewis. In terms of musical albums, Leona’s favourite album of all time is apparently Thriller by the late lamented Michael Jackson. Her new album, Best Kept Secret, looks set to become the favourite Leona Lewis album so far for fans who have had a secret desire to hear Leona on the dance floor.
