In December of 2000 Leslie moved to the United States and established herself in Miami where she began her career as a singer/songwriter. In Miami, Leslie has worked with artists such as Marisela Verena, Carlos y Marta and Luis Enrique. She is also part of Cubiche, and underground movement of young Cuban musicians, directed by Descemer Bueno.
In July of 2003 Leslie joined producer Steve Roitstein in his idea to create a musical group that would mix Afro-Cuban music with American Funk. They started writing the songs and asked fellow musicians Raymer Olalde, Philbert Armenteros and Ed Calle to join them in this musical trip. Together they came up with the record "This is Afro-Cuban Funk" catalogued by The New York Post as "Cuban music for the new generation". Today PALO! is one of the must popular groups in Miami, and this success has taken the group to other cities like Chicago, Boston and New York.
Leslie Cartaya's voice has influences from Cuban music, Brazilian music, jazz, hip hop, funk and Latin American music. This combination gives her a very unique style that ranges from soothing to extremely danceable. Leslie is currently working in her first solo album that will feature her original music.
