Today we’d like to introduce you to June.
Hi June, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Almost June is the musical identity of June Leonardi, an Americana singer-songwriter whose quiet strength and raw storytelling have become her signature. Raised in a large Italian household in North Jersey filled with music and harmony, June grew up reserved but deeply driven. After years devoted to raising a family and building a career in the Philadelphia suburbs, music emerged as her second act—a space for healing, self-discovery, and turning lived experience into song.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I never had any expectations of becoming a performer, much less a songwriter. So honestly there was really no pressure along the way. I used music as a method of healing after struggles in my personal life, but not related to music. That said, I have learned a lot about myself through music as well as learned a lot about making music through the community.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Its probably best said in my electronic press kit. https://tr.ee/cBIuemZ5Wn I am most proud of the songs I have written and also performing live opening for national acts such as Walker Hayes and Ashley McBryde.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
That if you want to do something, you can. even if people tell you that you cant, or that you are too old to start. i did not start until I was almost 50.
