Lea Michele is best known for her performance as “Rachel Berry” on the
critically acclaimed, Golden Globe, Grammy, and SAG award-winning Fox television
series Glee. She has been nominated for an Emmy, a SAG Award, and multiple
Golden Globes. The Glee cast recordings have sold over 10 million singles and
garnered over 20 top 40 US Billboard Hot 100 hits. Lea released her debut
album ‘Louder’ in March of 2014, marketing her step into her career as a
solo artist with an incredible vocally-driven record. The album debuted at No.
1 on iTunes and in the Top 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. That same
year, Lea added best-selling author to her resume when she released her first
book, “Brunette Ambition”, which was a NY Times Best Seller. She released
her second book, “You First,” the following year. She can currently be seen
on Fox as “Hester” in the dark Ryan Murphy comedy “Scream Queens.”
“When it came time to name my album, I settled on ‘Places’ because
this album for me represents a return to form, a return to the stage, and a
return to the place I belong,” Lea says. “When you perform on Broadway the
word “Places” is the last thing you hear over the loudspeaker before a show
is about to begin. “Places” I thought was the perfect title for this music
and how it reflects who I am as an artist today and where I come from."
