Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Lesley began her professional career as a child, performing in local theater and television. She received her training in Boston, where she and her band performed at local venues. She later returned to Canada, where she enrolled at The University of Toronto and received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Lesley practiced Psychiatric Nursing in Toronto and later in New York, in addition to pursuing her acting and music career. Her big break came when she was cast in the Toronto production of “Shenandoah” with Hal Linden, which eventually moved to Broadway and later starred John Cullum. While living in New York, Lesley was featured on the soaps “All My Children” and “One Life To Live.”

When Lesley was eight months pregnant with her first child, she wrote and performed her own cabaret show, “A Pregnant Revue.” It was performed, appropriately, at Don’t Tell Mama, in New York. The New York Cabaret scene seemed the perfect fit for this new mom, as she performed in many cabaret rooms, including the prestigious Cabaret Symposium at Town Hall.

In 1996 she and her husband, business manager, Jeff Wolman, relocated to Los Angeles, where they currently reside. Lesley soon joined forces with writer and director, Rick Lieberman; their first collaboration, “This Thing Called Love,” was performed at the Gardenia Supper Club in Los Angeles. Lesley then invited pianist, musical director and arranger, Michael Asher, to join her team. With Michael and Rick, Lesley has written and performed five Cabaret shows including her upcoming show, “Oh The Places We’ll Go,” which will have its debut this January in Los Angeles. Together with Michael as arranger and producer, they have recorded five albums.

Her newest show, “Oh The Places We’ll Go,” takes audiences on a vibrant musical journey around the globe. Featuring songs from 14 different countries and cities, Lesley enchants with performances in seven languages, including Japanese, Portuguese, Hebrew, Farsi, Spanish, French, and English. This captivating production celebrates cultural diversity and showcases Lesley’s extraordinary versatility as a performer, offering an unforgettable world tour through music.

Lesley’s cabaret shows have been performed throughout the U.S. and Canada and they include:
Jewish Women In Song, On Broadway, In Hollywood, All Of Me All Of You and The Great Canadian Songbook. Each has a corresponding album.

In addition to Lesley’s singing career, she is also an actress having recently appeared as Emma Cohen in the short film, “Bite,” which had its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024.

Lesley is also a voice over actor and has appeared in dramatic podcasts, animation, and commercials as well as dubbing for Netflix series.
In addition to her acting and singing career, Lesley is a fashion, lifestyle and cooking influencer and author of the popular blog, Fabulesley. You can find her on all social media platforms: Instagram, Tik Tok and Facebook, and her You Tube Channel, “Fabulesley.”
