When Leslie became 15, she organized a punk band Placebo (should not be confused with the British rock band Placebo) and became its author and singer, performing under the name of Feist. Later this amusing experience became the inspiration for her hit 1234. At the age of 12, Leslie became one of the 1000 dancers, performing at the opening of the Winter Olympic Games in Calgary. The girl dreamt of becoming a writer, but spent the major part of her free time singing in a local church choir. So soon after her birth, Leslie and her elder brother Ben were taken by their mother to grandparents in Saskatchewan and later - to Calgary, Alberta. Both her parents were artists and their marriage, as it often happens in the artistic circles, did not last long. Leslie Feist, who creates and performs under the name of Feist, was born in a Canadian city Amherst, Nova Scotia.
