Marianne Leigh

Marianne Leigh is a London-based songwriter originally from New Zealand, writing emotionally direct indie-pop shaped by acoustic textures, layered harmonies, and confessional lyricism. Blending elements of pop, indie, rock, and alternative music, her songs capture the volatility of young adulthood with equal parts vulnerability, self-awareness, and dry humour. Since relocating to London, Leigh has built momentum through a string of intimate releases exploring relationships, identity, and emotional accountability, earning support from BBC Radio 1 Future Pop, Radio 1 Introducing, Lincolnshire Introducing, Radio 6 Music, Spotify’s New Music Friday UK and Apple Music’s New in Pop. the bitter EP is a window into the world Marianne has been writing over the last year. Whether writing stripped-back acoustic ballads or sharper indie-pop moments, Marianne Leigh’s music remains rooted in honesty, intimacy, and the emotional extremes of modern relationships.
