Leah Martin-Brown is an Australian singer/songwriter and guitarist based in Los Angeles, CA, best known as the lead singer and songwriter for heavy rockers Evol Walks.

Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Leah Martin-Brown knew she was destined to become a musician, even before picking up her first guitar at age 11. By the time she was 16, Leah was writing, recording and performing her original music all over the Gold Coast and surrounding areas – regularly being booked for locally run festivals, youth events and the occasional nightclub with her newly named project “Lilly Rouge”.

Leah finished high school and was accepted into the “Bachelor of Popular Music” program at Griffith University which she graduated from in 2011. Afterwards, she moved down to Melbourne, Victoria, and began working on a Master of Music Education at Melbourne University.

September 2012 saw Leah return to her home state of Queensland to begin writing and recording with Brisbane based Producer, Stuart Stuart (The Veronica’s, Sheppard). The two co-wrote over 30 tracks, most of which were released on Lilly Rouge Records. This set Leah and her band up for two Australian National tours, support slots for Everclear, Presidents Of The United States and The Getaway Plan, and a set at 2013’s Big Day Out Festival.

This caught the eyes and ears of Los Angeles, CA, based A&R Company – A&R Worldwide. They invited Leah to California to work on some new music with Producer, Brian Howes (Airbourne, Skillet, Hinder, Nickelback) and showcase at music industry event Musexpo. It was at this point that Leah disbanded Lilly Rouge and created Evol Walks.

Leah spent the next 5 years extensively playing shows in her new home of Los Angeles, as well as touring through Australia, West Coast USA, and parts of Europe, releasing 2 EPs and several singles with the band.

In 2020, Leah relocated to Stockholm, Sweden, where, as well as writing and recording new music, she was given the opportunity to work and record an album with legendary Producer & Songwriter Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange and acclaimed songwriters & producers Tony Nilsson and Tommy Denander. Tommy is also the guitarist on the whole album and mixed it.

In 2024, Leah Martin-Brown spends the bulk of her time in Los Angeles, but is consistently traveling the world writing, recording and playing wherever she can. She has shared the stage with Dream Theater, Flogging Molly, Nita Strauss, Glen Sobel, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry and many more.
