kissing the flint – creating sparks

Multi-award nominated international singer-songwriter Leah Jett is an Australian-brewed artist, Scottish-distilled since 2020 where she has been based in her father’s native land. Leah created Kissing The Flint (translation: creating a spark) to cut through the fakery of the modern world. Fueled by an authentic, adventurous spirit, powerhouse voice and shape-shifting depth of songwriting alchemy, she captivates audiences with heartfelt stories and vivid imagery, softness and sass – moving easily from melodic, roots beauty to empowered rock raunch, one mesmerising moment to the next.

PRESS / TESTIMONIALS

“Enthralling sound, evocative lyrics and commanding vocals.” (Jyla Blog)

“Hailing from Queensland, Australia, but now based in Scotland, Kissing The Flint curbs her love for steampunk and rockabilly into feisty, genre-diverse music. Numerous rave reviews, energetic live shows and multi-award nominations prove she is not one to be ignored.” (Nicole Mendes, The Other Side Reviews)

“Citing Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde and Stevie Nicks among her influences, Kissing The Flint is on a mission
to resurrect female rock’n’roll, one banger at a time.”
   (Marilu Ciabattoni, Lost In the Manor)

“Kissing The Flint is an artist adept at crafting immersive tales that delve deepinto the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Drawing inspiration from powerful, resilient feminine narratives, Leah’s music creates a tableau of intense passion, formidable power dynamics, and raw emotions. Her songwriting skilfully oscillates between strength and vulnerability, presenting listeners with evocative scenarios that both entertain and resonate. With every track, she challenges you to not just hear, but feel, question, and introspect, making her one of the most compelling artists in the contemporary music scene.” (Testing Melodies)

Kissing The Flint
🌿 Spring is the season of new life, emergence and beginnings, everything stretching towards the sun again after a long, dark winter. And so it feels this week for my music here in the UK. My first trip over to Unit 7 Studio (Bladnoch) today in a wee while, as planning starts for recording my next album with the fabulous Huey Dowling. Ken and I always love to stop along the way and touch the Torhouse Stones, to centre ourselves with ancient energies.🤩 It's always so exciting to be embarking on something new, setting out all the road maps for a fresh adventure! The only challenge has been the narrowing down of my fairly hefty song catalogue to just a dozen that will fall together in harmony. But this is starting to happen and the final destination is beginning to show its face.💃 I really can't wait to share this new road with you once we really start putting the pedal down, heading towards the next horizon! ...
