When LeA wasn’t in school, she joined her Sugar Hill Gang family on the road with American boy band, Nsync.

At the age of fifteen, LeA created a group with her best friends called The Bonde who used their voices to bring awareness to human rights issues like FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) partnering with the United Nations & Amnesty International. As a result, LeA helped launch the United Nations International Year of Youth. She made her first large television appearance, on the MTV series, My Super Sweet 16 at this time as well.

With the release of her first solo album, Broken Girl, LeA launched her own career; writing most of the songs and co-producing her very first song. She served as executive producer; recording, mastering and mixing the entire album. At the same time, LeA became a lead cast member in her family’s hit reality television show First Family of Hip-Hop for Bravo.
