Lolita “Lea” Sweet, is a San Francisco native, taking country soul beyond the borders of the local scene. The singer-songwriter has made her journey to audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad adding “flava” to pop-country music. When describing her sound, she gives bright smiles and says, “ It’s my new style called “soul-billy. A mixture of soul and hillbilly. I like to say San Francisco meets Nashville and have a great love affair, they have a baby and name it ‘Soul-Billy’.”

After a few years of singing R&B, Lea sojourned to Nashville, TN and serendipitously fell in love with country music . The African and Native American Indian songstress celebrates her heritage in her debut country project, "I Will” which is receiving rave reviews from the radio stations in San Francisco to the islands of St. Kitts, all the way down under in Australia, “Lea's voice is dazzling, powerful and compelling with a sexy charisma. She puts passion, heart and soul into country music.” San Francisco's Mayor Willie Brown called the single “I Don't Want To Dance Without You” a hit.

Lea is a three-time nominee of the 2008 Bay Area Black Music Awards This year, the 2011 Black Music Association Academy nominated her in the Best New Country Artist category.

As one of 11 siblings, Lea had to be a go-getter. While working in the family’s limousine business, she chauffeured celebrities like The God Father of Soul, Mr. James Brown to his Bay Area concerts. She used her earnings to fund her first project, R&B and jazz CD "I'm Taking Applications." James Brown Manager and Attorney of Estate, Judge Al Bradley later became Lea's business manager until his passing.

At her family reunion in Macon, GA, Lea viewed the family tree and to her chagrin, she discovered her family roots were planted firmly in music with Otis Redding as her cousins. Lea's father and uncle often recounts how they, Otis, Little Richard and James Brown went to high school together playing in bands. Lea's father, William and Otis moved to San Francisco pursuing their music careers. Needless to say, Cousin Otis went on to do great things and her father chose serving the Army and Navy while playing with his band. She pays homage to her family in the song, “I Will”
