About Leanna Crawford

No matter who you are, finding solace and comfort in music is a prerequisite rite of passage for countless teenagers. However, for singer-songwriter Leanna Crawford, playing guitar and writing poetry in the bedroom of her family’s home in Washington State, was never merely a pastime. On the contrary, songwriting was her vehicle to navigate her faith, relationships, and questions in a world of difficulties. No longer just another teen playing guitar and writing poetry in her bedroom, Leanna now finds herself, a happily married woman in her twenties, on the verge of the release of her debut album, Still Waters. Combining previously released tracks with fresh compositions like "For Heaven’s Sake," "Honest," and "Rest," the album is a tapestry of struggle and faith, reflecting Crawford's journey and pursuit for truth, honesty, and beauty. Each song on Still Waters feels like a journal entry—infused with Crawford’s personal reflections and experiences. "For Heaven’s Sake" invites listeners to unite in purpose regardless of differences. "How Can You Not" is an affirmation of God’s omnipresence, even amidst doubt. The title track, "Still Waters" holds special meaning as a tribute to Crawford’s Great Aunt Maurine whose steadfast faith profoundly impacted her family across generations. “My prayer is that this album becomes a vessel of hope,” says Crawford. “I want listeners to feel seen and understood through these songs – and as a result, encounter the love of Jesus.”
