After years of gigging around Northern Ireland, Leah moved to London to attend college. After six months there, she began playing at the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. In 2013, McFall auditioned for the second series of The Voice, where she chose to join Will's team. In the battle round, she sang against CJ Edwards.
