Early life
Leah Gibson was born in Victoria, British Columbia.[1] She has a twin sister named Erin.[2] She began dancing at the age of four, which led to training and performance in vocational interests, such as ballet and many forms of jazz.[3][4] In early years of dancing and singing, she discovered musical theatre. She transferred to a high school that specialized in fine arts, maintaining honor-roll grades and graduating at the top of her class.[5]
Gibson studied psychology at the University of Victoria, among the select few who were asked to study under the UVic honours program.[6] She was simultaneously cast in her first professional theatre production, and withdrew from university. The touring company lost its funding within 2 months, and the show was cancelled. Gibson consequently moved to Vancouver in pursuit of a career in film acting.[6]
