Tali Leda’s passion for singing and songwriting started at the ripe old age of seven, in a little apartment in Queens, New York, when she wrote her first original song “Another Peanut Butter Love Song.” Tali’s adoration for peanut butter was poetically expressed in her first song. It’s as if another John Lennon or Joni Mitchell was born.
There’s an interesting story behind Tali’s desire to pursue music as a career. Tali was adopted as a baby and her adoptive parents are wonderful people but don’t have a musical bone in their bodies.
