PALM SPRINGS, Calif.– Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend has just announced the addition of Leah LaBelle to its 2013 entertainment line-up.

LaBelle’s record label and agency (CAA),  reached out to Mariah Hanson (founder and producer of The Dinah) for a  spot on the 2013 Dinah talent roster.

Following in the footsteps of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, The Pussy Cat Dolls, Kesha, Dev and Neon Hitch  among others  who, post-Dinah, have all gone to become Grammy/VMA winners, No. 1 Billboard charters, and international hitmakers, LaBelle is set to perform during the Dinah Monte Carlo party held Saturday, April 6 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, following the performance by pop duo Karmin.

The young artist will deliver a variety of songs from her new album (due out this year) including the hit single “Sexify” and her new track “Lolita”, produced by Pharrell Williams, which recently premiered on Complex.com.

Labelle was a contestant on the 3rd season of American Idol, bowing out at a respectable 12th position.  While she certainly made her marks on the TV show, it was her YouTube videos that made her an overnight phenomenon. As a result she landed gigs singing backup for such artists as Jordin Sparks, The Jonas Brothers, Eric Benet and Britney Spears.

The Canadian-born daughter of Bulgarian refugees eventually caught the eyes and ears of L.A. Reid, Pharrell Williams and Jermaine Dupri who signed her to a joint deal with their respective labels, Epic Records, i.am.OTHER and So So Def Recordings.
