Phoebe Legere is a trailblazing Native American/Cajun artist, educator, songwriter, Director and CEO whose journey from crushing rural poverty to international acclaim is nothing short of extraordinary.
Discovered by Michael Jackson and signed to Epic Records at 16, Legere has toured with icons like David Bowie, lived with literary legend Hunter S. Thompson, and has starred in, scored, written and directed award-winning films.
A virtuoso musician who plays seven instruments, she has released seventeen critically acclaimed albums and recently wrote and directed a film called The Gender Symphony (2024).
Legere's film has garnered twelve international awards.

Whether inspiring young women to take the first step in their careers or empowering executives to lead with courage and innovation, Legere’s talks leave audiences motivated, energized, and ready to rise.
Perfect for International Women’s Day events, corporate leadership seminars, and educational conferences, Phoebe Legere’s presentations are a celebration of creativity, self-empowerment, and community building.
