Battle of the Boroughs: Staten Island Winner Leila Hegazy
Battle of the Boroughs
2014 Staten Island Battle of the Boroughs winner Leila Hegazy
Nine undiscovered musical acts from Staten Island competed on The Greene Space’s stage during a live concert on May 2, 2014. Then, voters chose their top five. Now, after a week of voting, there’s only one act standing.
The 2014 Staten Island representative in our Battle of the Boroughs is…Leila Hegazy! The singer-songwriter moves on to the final showdown, the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs on June 27. She’ll compete against the other borough winners — including Manhattan’s 5j Barrow, Queen’s Annika and the Bronx’s Royal Khaoz — for bragging rights and prizes, including a showcase performance at the world famous Apollo Theater Amateur Night.
Congrats to all the acts who competed.
Next stop in the Battle of the Boroughs: Brooklyn takes the stage on Friday, June 6.
