The Spirit of Detroit is very fortunate to have LeAnn K. Hazlett as its director. She first began studying voice in the 7th Grade. She went on to study with Richard Mathey, a well-known voice instructor at Bowling Green State University.
A Sweet Adeline since the age of seventeen, LeAnn became the lead of her first competing quartet in 1983. In 1988, she formed the quartet Swing Street with three other women from the Metropolitan Detroit area and just three short years later, Swing Street won the International Quartet Competition and became the 1991 International Champions or "Queens of Harmony". LeAnn is currently the lead in SPOTLIGHT which in the fall of 2005 International in Detroit, MI was thrilled to reach the height of the quartet's journey when they were announced the 2006 Sweet Adeline International Quartet Champions.
Directing Spirit of Detroit Chorus since 1994, LeAnn has led the chorus to numerous first place honors in Regional Competition and has taken the chorus to several International Competitions. During the 1999 Regional Competition, the chorus scored enough points to have LeAnn earn her designation as a "Master Director".
LeAnn resides in Swanton, Ohio and is a full-time Cosmetologist. In addition to her director duties, she coaches many area quartets and choruses who recognize her talent and valuable knowledge of the Barbershop style.
