Ninca Leece's biography



Brazil, China, Poland, Finland, Japan, Russia, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy: Ninca Leece has certainly gone the distance to bring her very own interpretation of contemporary electronic pop music to the people. And it goes something like this: musically socialized through early New Order and My Bloody Valentine, Ninca conjures up immortal melodies out of experimental electronic dance, aided by her box of tricks (her "laboratory", as she calls it). She flirts dreamily with house and synth pop, mixing the whole thing up with a sprinkling of noise, analogue instruments and field recordings. She modestly describes her first album as "a collection of my experiments in sound and emotions ­ lots of funny little things, broken hearted sounds and melodies. It's about glitchiness, quirkiness, sexiness."

Ninca Leece spent her youth in Rennes, France before, on coming of age, moving to Holland. Rotterdam & Amsterdam, to be precise, where she studied music production and singing. ''She eventually wound up in Berlin, a city whose imprint is indelibly registered on Leece’s music: you’ll find the glitchy bounce of the micro-house so prevalent in the area, but also remnants of the turn of the century marriage of indie rock and electronic sensibilities.'' Since then, she has toured the globe as musician, composer, singer and producer, resolutely defending her musical independence, which is so important to her.

Her concept evolves musically and aesthetically as she intertwines her love for analogue instruments with toy pets and figurines. Her show is based upon a visual interaction with her music.

Her new ep 'Feed me rainbows' was released on thesongsays in spring 2010 with amazing reviews all around.


Her recent collaboration with Bruno Pronsato (Public Lover), has many critics and fans grasping for more. The duo has released two singles - 'Musique d'Hiver pour l'Eté on thesongsays and 'Naked figures' on Telegraph records in 2011, and they finally released their album 'A broken Shape of you' in February 2012.
