Leonie Burger (born 25 June 1997), known professionally as Leony, is a German pop singer and songwriter.




Career


Along with Julian Vogl and Maximillian Böhle, Leonie Burger performed on RTL's Rising Star as part of the band 'Unknown Passenger'. In the finale, they received 92.77% of the audience's vote for their version of Stay. She got to know her early band manager Nik Hafermann through the show. The band had a few appearances in smaller clubs, but the group disbanded shortly thereafter. Leonie performed as a solo artist from then on, using a slightly modified spelling of her first name as her stage name.
In 2016, Leony signed with Sony Music in Australia, subsequently undertaking a lot of vocal coaching. Her first songs were produced in Sweden, with her releasing her first debut single Surrender in 2017. The song was used in a Sylvie Meis underwear commercial. The single Boots was released in 2018, with More Than Friends following in 2019.
Thereafter, she moved over to a different brand, with Vitali Zestovskih and Mark Becker becoming her new managers and producers. Together with DJ duo Vize and Sam Feldt she released her new single Far Away from Home. Her breakthrough came in July 2020 with her remake of Modern Talking's song Brother Louie in collaboration with Vize, Kazakh artist Imanbek and the former Modern Talking member, Dieter Bohlen.
In 2022, she was a music mentor for Emilia and her song Outside and Inside in Dein Song, a reality television music competition on German broadcaster ZDF.
In 2023, Leony featured as a judge on the 20th season of German reality talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar.
In 20 March 2024, Leony was confirmed to join OneRepublic and Meduza in the production of UEFA Euro 2024 theme song, replacing Kim Petras who couldn't participate due to "scheduling issues".
