Leslie Winer is a bit of a mystery. Before working as a well-known model in New York, where she got a reputation for being difficult to work with (therefore heightening her appeal to fashionistas), she met William Burroughs and Jean-Michel Basquiat, dropped out of the scene, and produced Witch, prescient album (called the grandmother of trip hop by NME). Then she seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, only to occasionally resurface doing vocals for artists like Bomb The Bass and Mekon.

Currently, she is living in France & is co-editor & co-executor for the Estate of Beat writer Herbert Huncke.
