Lea Mauboy

Lea Amethyst Mauboy (born April 12, 1997) is an American musical artist known for being a member of 7even.

History
Lea was born on April 12, 1997 to unmarried parents in Seattle, Washington. Growing up, Lea was raised to believe money grew on trees. Her father was a banker and her mother, a Kosovan immigrant, was a business woman. However, she never let her popularity in school and wealth get into her head.

Despite wanting to be a star in the music industry when she grew up, her parents already decided on a career choice for her - they wanted her to be a dentist. Lea did not like this and began running away from home. During her teenage years, she was heavily troubled and depressed. In an interview, she stated that at the time, she felt as if she was "trapped". Her parents apologized to her on her 17th birthday, and let her become a singer.

In 2014, she auditioned to be a member of 7even and was accepted, although producers could not decide between her and a Brazillian teen named Aria who was also auditioning. Eventually, they decided on Lea.

Personal life
Lea lives in Pasadena, California with her boyfriend Perry McAvoy, who she is currently engaged to. They are set to have a wedding in February 2018, but do not plan to have any children.

Unlike other members of 7even, Lea is Jewish, and was given permission to not sing any songs for 7even's upcoming "Christmas Magic" album, as she felt "deeply offended" about the general theme.
