New York Based Performer`s Track Remains at #1 on IDJPool and the Top Ten on Three Other Major Dance Charts LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)-- An ironic thing happened this week when a writer for UMM, a magazine some consider to be the Canadian Maxim, was interviewing Leah Renee (www.leahville.net) about her quickly rising dance hit single "iBF (Imaginary Boyfriend)" for its Summer 2009 issue. Far more than just a typical squeaky clean pop princess, the New York based singer and songwriter mentioned that she was reading "Scar Tissue,"Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Keidis` best-selling 2004 drug addiction memoir. She told the journalist that, while she`s focusing on R&B influenced dance/pop as an artist, she grew up on a heavy dose of hard rock, including Guns N` Roses and Black Sabbath. Her father and brother are big rock fans and long-haired Harley riders who had a major influence on Leah`s musical sensibilities. While there`s more to Leah than meets the eye, it`s plain to see that she`s an out and out dance sensation as her "iBF" remix leaped 10 slots this week to #38 on the FMQB Dance Chart, a dynamic and eclectic list featuring superstars from Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 to Madonna, Flo Rida and Kelly Clarkson. The track also remains at #1 on IDJPOOL - Chicago`s April Dance Chart, #10 on both the DJ Mag Dancefloor DestroyersHouse Chart and XPressbeats Top Ten House Chart, and #20 on XPressbeats Top 50 Most Wanted Chart. "iBF" is also the #2 Breakout track on the dance chart of the Mass Pool DJ Association. "iBF" is being spun on XM, AOL Music, Fusionradio, iPartyradio, B91, DMX and stations like WDRE, WKIE, KNHC, WBZC and WMPH. The week of April 17, Leah was featured on Myspace Celebrity under Rising Star. Last week`s celebrity icon was Ryan Seacrest. The page also featured Tila, Nicole Richie, David Cook, David Archuleta, Jewel and Ashley Tisdale. Leah was on CBS Radio New York on Wednesday, April 15 and was interviewed by Matt Simpson, the Director of Music Content, CBS Radio Digital Media Group. Glamour Vanity also did a spotlight on Leah Renee, which can be seen here: http://www.glamourvanity.com/leah-renee/. Luck Media & Marketing, Inc.
