Born in Munich, Germany, Leni Stern started playing piano at the age of 6 and guitar at 11. At 17, she formed her own acting company. Her radical productions sold out houses across Europe and attracted press and TV coverage. In 1977, she turned her attention to music and left for the United States to study film scoring at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. This gave way to her love for guitar, and in 1981 Leni moved to New York City to play in a variety of rock and jazz bands. In 1983 she formed a group of her own with Paul Motion on drums and Bill Frisell on guitar. Leni's 1985 Clairvoyant was her first solo instrumental recording. Eight albums and 12 years later, in 1997, she released Black Guitar, her first vocal full-length release. Finally, The Rain Has Come, Leni's most recent album, was released earlier this year.
