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)

Long day today at Resonate ... 7 hours of absorbing, immersive, diverse and interesting panels...so worth it! I learned heaps of new stuff, met some really lovely people, filled a bagload of samples and soaked up bucketloads of enthusiasm, guidance, inspiration and positivity. Platform under the rail arches is also a really cool venue.The Scottish music scene is bursting with so much talent, absolutely incredible! Feeling inspired anew from today, to keep focusing and working on the most important aspects of who I truly am and what I live and love to do...stay authentic, write and create music that I deeply want...no, need...to make - deliver great shows - and never forget the real joy is in the creating and the connecting. That really is the true measure of 'success'. 🙏🤟🏻💃🎊🤩🎶Thank you sScottish Music Industry Associationssociation for my bursary to attend this year for the very first time. It was great to meet you guys at your stand today 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
