Leslie Shaw's Career
Leslie Shaw started her music journey in a Peruvian pop group called Glow. They released their first song, Signos, in 2008. The group recorded several songs for an album. However, Leslie wanted to sing rock music, while the others preferred pop music. Because of these different ideas, she decided to leave the group.
In 2010, Leslie decided to become a solo artist. She released her first album, Destrozado y sin control. Two music videos from this album, "Destrozado y sin control" and "Una vez más", were shown on MTV (Latin America).
A big moment in her career was in 2011. She represented Peru at the famous Viña del Mar International Song Festival. She reached the finals and won second place with her song "Destrozado y sin control".
Leslie also joined the TV show El Gran Show 2011 as a celebrity contestant. She performed very well and ended up as the runner-up of the season. While on "El Gran Show", she also took on the main role in a theater play. This play was based on a popular Peruvian TV show called "Carmin".
Later, Leslie participated in another TV show, Tu cara me suena (Perú), during the 2013–2014 season. She finished in third place.
In 2019, Leslie Shaw performed at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Pan American Games. She sang the hit song Échame la Culpa alongside the famous artist Luis Fonsi.
Leslie has released one album and one EP (which is like a mini-album). She has also worked with international artists like Thalía and Mau y Ricky. Her song Loco was certified gold in Peru. This means it sold a lot of copies. Her songs Volverte A Ver and Decide went platinum, which means even more sales. Si Me Ves Con Alguien went double platinum, and Faldita went quadruple platinum!
Her EP, Yo Soy Leslie Shaw, features songs with major artists. These include Thalía, Mau y Ricky, and Farina. In July 2020, Billboard Magazine recognized her as one of the top 15 new Peruvian artists to listen to. In December 2020, she won the Best South Artist award at the Premios Heat.
