MBG

MBG is a music project of Multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter, and Producer Leena Rodriguez. Alongside her co-producer and engineer Phil Hirst, Leena writes, performs, and produces all of the project's music. Blending both the hard and edgy sounds of Alt-Rock with infectious Pop melodies. MBG is the sound of someone just trying their best through the lens of an anxious, Queer, Latina.


Leena began learning songs by ear and then taught herself to play other instruments such as the piano, drums, guitar, and bass by commuting to her local music store and practicing until closing time to avoid the burden of her family paying for music lessons and instruments. Over time, she has honed her skills as a well-versed multi-instrumentalist excelling in the genres of R&B, Blues, and Classic Rock. Studying Music Production in College, she grew an interest in songwriting and then started producing and writing her own music. In 2019, the project was conceived with her debut EP ‘Have A Alright day’. At only 3 years into her career, MBG has played at JUNOFest Showcase 2022 handpicked by Toronto's own The Beaches and has opened up for the Linda Lindas for their Canadian debut at POP Montreal 2022. With Three new singles out and a possible album release in the future, she hopes to pave the way for the next generation of young girls who want to pick up the guitar and rock just as hard as the boys do!
