Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Marco Island, Florida, Leighton began performing in local theater before working as a child model in New York. Her television debut came in a 1999 episode of Law & Order. In 2007, Gossip Girl introduced her to a much wider audience as Blair Waldorf.
Finding her sound.
Her early pop work included the 2009 Cobra Starship collaboration “Good Girls Go Bad” and “Somebody to Love” with Robin Thicke. For her 2014 debut album Heartstrings, she moved toward a more personal singer-songwriter sound. She wrote its nine tracks and released the Jeff Trott-produced record through her own Hotly Wanting Records.
Across stage and screen.
Country Strong let fans hear her singing within a film role. She also appeared on Broadway in the 2014 revival of Of Mice and Men. More recent work includes Good Cop/Bad Cop, The Buccaneers, Nobody Wants This and I Love LA.
