Meet LT - née Leanne Tennant - a UK-born, Papua New Guinea–raised, Cairns-based singer-songwriter whose music blendsdream-pop, indie, and alternative blues roots. After a childhood in Papua New Guinea and formative years busking the streets of Brisbane, she settled in Cairns, where the wild, tropical environment deeply inspired her songwriting.
Under the recent moniker LT, she’s gained acclaim as a multi–Queensland Music Award winner, a Carol Lloyd Award recipient, and an International Songwriting Competition awardee—her evocative tracks “Gentle Annie,” “Bring It All Back,” “Cherry Cola,” and “Everspin” earned widespread recognition and sync placements on British Airways, ABC TV, and more.
LT’s signature sound - haunting vocals wrapped in cinematic arrangements - has been lauded by Rolling Stone Australiaand Double J for its emotional clarity and dream-like atmosphere. Her music, shaped by Cairns’ intense landscapes, invites listeners into a space of reflection, tension, and lyrical intimacy - an artist who thrives in vulnerability while staying fiercely independent
