About me
Multi-award nominated Australian singer-songwriter currently based in her father's native Scotland. Performing as Kissing The Flint (meaning 'to create a spark'), she released her debut EP 'Unconditionality' in 2019 and followed up with a 2024 album 'Standing On The Fringe of Rooms' which she toured in Australia and the UK. Her third album 'Rule The World' is due for release in 2025.
Kissing The Flint - 'Standing On The Fringe of Rooms' Album 2024
Australian singer-songwriter Leah Jett aka Kissing The Flint released her second album 'Standing On The Fringe of Rooms' in 2024 on an Australia tour, which is the follow up to her 2019 debut EP 'Unconditionality'. A blazing, blues-rock journey along the hotel room corridors of the human condition, inspired by observance, experience, empathy - and a global pandemic. From lone introspection, through to inspirations of hope and a heavy-hitting battle-of-the sexes love showdown, you won’t be able to stop the voyeur within you listening at each and every door.

I Won't Look Back is a honky tonk number written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint. A song about a girl taking back control of her love life and telling her man she's walking down the road if he doesn't start to treat her right! Official Music video was funded through the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) in Queensland, Australia - it was filmed by Wezzy Cruze and released in 2019 and can be enjoyed on Kissing The Flint's Youtube channel.
Unconditionality - Kissing The Flint
Written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy, Unconditionality is the title track of Kissing The Flint's debut EP, released in 2019. Unconditionality is a word that summarises a positive regard ethic - in everything we do in life, we should accept others for who they are and not seek to bend them - and we should be treated, unconditionally in everything, the same way too.
I Just Want To - Kissing The Flint
Written by Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint, this song from the 2019 EP 'Unconditionality' explores the theme of the dying embers of a relationship when one half wants things end but the other doesn't
She-Oak Affair - Kissing The Flint
Written by Leah Chynoweth-Tidy for her debut Kissing The Flint EP 'Unconditionality' released in 2019, this upbeat track reminds us that life far too often gets manic and we need to remember to take the time to slow down or stop and smell the roses. Or in this case, relaxing on the sand under the shade of a She-Oak tree, gazing at the sea and downing a cold drink - or three!

100 Or Less
A heartfelt alt-rock journey with infectious guitar hooks and resonating message to rock the foundations of a bureaucratic lack of support for the undervalued Arts. And this time, it's personal.
Dune Girl
Waves of shimmering summer guitars cascade over warm, breezy vocals in an upbeat surf pop-rock groove about why we love living, working and playing by the coast. An invitation to let your hair down, soak up some Vitamin D, ride the waves and boogie barefoot on the sand. Empowered dune girls who weren’t allowed to surf in the 70’s now riding the waves as equals right next to the boys in the 2020’s.
Gunslinger Love
A riff-laden blues-rock epic that bursts out of the blocks with all guns blazing and thunders to a sizzling, star-crossed battle of the sexes love showdown, both gunslingers resisting the attraction every step of the way.
All We Can Do
An Australian Songwriting Association Inc. (ASAI) Top 10 Indie-Rock finalist with a UK Songwriting Competition commended, this reimagined, lushly arranged pop-reggae single version of the original ‘Standing on the Fringe of Rooms’ album track reflects how we all have the ability and strength within ourselves to push through and soldier on, even when the days feel darkest. Those days when we feel like mere spectators of our own lives, standing on the outside looking in, fearing we’re losing control over our destiny. All is not lost. Ride the rolling stone and believe the light is waiting for you up ahead to banish the shadows, if you can only hold on to hope.
