<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Lelia was just thirteen when she picked up a guitar and hasn’t looked back since. Adamant about pursuing her passion for music, she has created a successful independent
career for herself using her ingenuity and the mediums available to her. Through social networking and word of mouth, Broussard’s
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/leliabroussard">MySpace</a> has received over <b>
11 million<i> </i>plays</b> and her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lilyah524">
YouTube</a> artist page has aggregated over <b>5 million views</b>. Lelia’s out of the box cover of Beyonce’s “<i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lilyah524#p/u/15/Fb47QmTT1ck">All The Single Ladies</a>”</i> garnered almost
<b>two million views</b> on YouTube. This past January, <b>Russell Simmons </b>selected Lelia as one of his<b>
</b>five favorite current unsigned pop/rock artists in his “<b><i>Hip-Pop Challenge.</i></b>” Broussard also used the internet and her social networking skills to raise over $<i>15,000</i> to record
<b>Masquerade</b> on <b>Kickstarter.com</b>, her campaign was one of the most successful music projects on the popular indie fundraising site at that time.
