Hot off the heels of an incredibly successful run of West Coast shows, Lelia Broussard has claimed her spot in the top two of Rolling Stone's So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star<http://www.rollingstone.com/choosethecover/artists/lelia-broussard> contest.  Hand-picked as one of the sixteen best unsigned artists in the nation by the editors of Rolling Stone, she is now one step closer to gracing the cover of one of the magazine's August issues and will be performing on the main stage at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. This final round of voting will close on July 1, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. EST with the winner being announced and performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and appearing on the August 18 issue of Rolling Stone (on newsstands August 5).

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 MySpace<http://www.myspace.com/leliabroussard> has received over 11 million plays and her YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/user/lilyah524> artist page has aggregated over 5 million views. Lelia's out of the box cover of Beyonce's "All The Single Ladies<http://www.youtube.com/user/lilyah524#p/u/15/Fb47QmTT1ck>" garnered almost two million views on YouTube. This past January, Russell Simmons selected Lelia as one of his five favorite current unsigned pop/rock artists in his "Hip-Pop Challenge." Broussard also used the internet and her social networking skills to raise over $15,000 to record Masquerade on Kickstarter.com, her campaign was one of the most successful music projects on the popular indie fundraising site at that time.

East Coasters, Ms. Broussard will be playing a show at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City on June 3rd.  Let us know if you'd like tickets!
