Ringleader - Lena Esposito and Chris Brownelle are a songwriting duo that come from different musical backgrounds making for a fresh blend in the poprock genre. Esposito began her career playing weekly solo acoustic performances while attending Montana State University in Bozeman.

Her efforts culminated in the May 2002 release of her debut solo CD recorded at the acclaimed Bias Recording Studios with 5-time Grammy-nominated Producer Bob Dawson.

In early 2003, Esposito and Brownelle began collaborating on songs which would eventually become the foundation for Ringleader. Using heavy guitars, synth textures and melody-driven vocals, Ringleader began recording versions of what would become their debut EP.
