In an era of manufactured music, Leigh Marks stands out as a talented singer-songwriter inspired by nature, personal growth, and musical authenticity. Jokingly referring to himself as a “flawed contributor to humanity,” the Australian artist weaves Roots, Blues, and Rock into a tranquil yet profound sound.

Growing up west of Sydney, Leigh found solace in the Blue Mountains, using music as a way to rise above a challenging childhood. Influenced by artists like Ben Harper, Chris Cornell, and Johnny Farnham, his music blends the raw beauty of nature with the emotional depth of his personal experiences.

Music became a healing journey for Leigh, guiding him toward an emotionally honest path. He sees his songs as more than entertainment; they are immersive experiences that invite listeners to reflect and find comfort. Rather than choosing a path of self-destruction, Leigh invested in his growth, touring internationally, and teaching to inspire future generations. Fronting the band Crow of the Cloud, he has been on the same bill as Billy Idol, Sepultura, the late Taylor Hawkins, supported Wirtz and preceded Ingo Pohlmann on stage as part of the band and as a solo artist.
