Early life

Born Leanne Clencey Lyons in The Bronx, New York, Lyons father left the family when she was ten years old, leaving her and her five siblings to be raised by her mother.[1] By age fifteen, Lyons had left her mother's house and began living on her own.

Career

Sisters With Voices (SWV)

Lyons joined with her neighborhood friend Cheryl Clemons to create a singing group after being inspired by watching the TV competition show Star Search. Shortly after, Clemons introduced Lyons her friend Brooklyn native Tamara Johnson-George; and the group was formed. As SWV, they enjoyed a large amount of commercial success. Selling more than fifteen million albums worldwide, SWV became one of the most successful girl groups of all time and the 5th best selling girl group in R&B music.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}}

Later life

SWV disbanded in 1997. In a 2014 interview with WE TV, Lyons commented on how the break-up of the group left her feeling: "Depressed and all over the place. I didn't know who I was. I had no drive, no light".

By 2005, she had received her G.E.D and was working a job at an accounting firm when she was contacted by Coko's (Cheryl Clemons) manager about a performance in Japan.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}}
