Lindsey Leaverton, known as Elle G, faced a devastating fallout in 2009 after coming out as a lesbian while being an acclaimed Christian artist. Forced to choose between her identity and her career, she lost everything, including friends and family. Despite this, she maintained her faith in God and rebuilt her life, finding solace in music. After a ten-year hiatus, she released her debut album, blending various music styles and aiming to make a positive impact. Now, as a Vice President and wealth advisor, she draws strength from her experiences to inspire others through her music.
"I was told by a high up in the world's largest Christian organization that if I didn't end my relationship and denounce my homosexual lifestyle that she would call all the event planners I was already booked with and tell them I was gay and get all my gigs cancelled."
"I never lost my faith in God. But, yes, I lost my faith in religion and especially these so called 'Christians.' They turned their backs on me."
"At seventeen, I got so bored over the Christmas holidays, that I stole my mom's classical guitar from the '70s with one string missing and proceeded to teach myself how to play the guitar and almost instantly began writing songs."
"Making music for the sake of making music wasn't enough for Leaverton. She wanted to do something that just might change the world, even just a little."
