Leela James was brought up in a family which had a huge collection of 1960s and 1970s R&B and soul records, and so as a little child, she was under the influence of this music. Other information about her parents and education is unknown in the media.

Leela’s musical career began in 2003, when she began to perform as an opening act at the tour of The Black Eyed Peas, and Macy Gray. In 2004, she provided her vocal to the single “Track”, on Pete Rock’s album entitled “Soul Survivor II”, and in the following year, she was featured on the posthumously released Ray Charles album “Genius & Friends”, all of which established her net worth.

Subsequently, she began her professional musical career with the realization of her debut studio album named “A Change Is Gonna Come”, in June 2005. The lead single from this album was “Music”, and she co-wrote most of the songs. Although the album sold only 200,000 copies in the US, it received positive critiques and reached No. 148 on the US main, and No. 42 on the R&B charts, which encouraged her to continue further.

Her next two albums – “Loving You More… In The Spirit Of Etta James” (2012), and “Fall For You” (2014) – also added to her net worth.

During her career as a musician, Leela has been nominated twice – for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist in 2008, and for a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist in the same year.

In addition to her career, Leela was co-host of the TV series “My Black Is Beautiful” in 2010, and later in 2014 and 2015, she appeared in the reality TV series “R&B Divas: Los Angeles”, contributing further to her net worth.
