How Old are you - I'm 32 years old now, although I certainly don't think age is important in the music industry unless you are a pop act who appeals to the under 14's which we are not. Just look at KT Tunstall who is 30 years old and was told by record industry bosses that she was on the wrong side of 30 for a record deal. Idiots. What have you achieved - In Leon, lots. We may not have a huge lucrative deal but with the boys I have recorded loads of stuff, Recorded in Los Angeles with Brian Reeves, appeared on Jay Leno's show, met loads of famous people. Played 1000's of gigs. toured Los Angeles, Greece, Zimbabwe, played the whole of the UK. Made music videos, been on radio. The list is endless.
What Makes Leon Special - Our hard work and ambition, the fact that we sound unlike any other band. We use no backline at all. I use a sansamp which gives my bass a lovely funky growl. Also what makes us really special is our close relationship with each other. A lot of bands out there only have one member. Singer, Guitarist, drummer bass player, all of whom think that the part they play is more important than the other making them arrogant. We are not like that and never will be.
Where Do You Get Your Inspiration - My playing inspiration from other bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, LIVE, Def Leppard.
Who Do We Sound Like - No one I've heard.
Any Nicknames - Yeah loads ask the others.
What Do You Do To Relax - Paint, listen to music, spend to with my loved ones.

What instruments do you play? Drums and then the acoustic guitar (I can play G on the guitar) and I enjoy singing harmonies and a little bit on the piano. How old and have you done much? I'm 19. I've been to America and recorded two albums. We do an average of 105 gigs nationally a year, plus international dates. (I don't get tired cause I'm not as old) What makes LEON special? Commitment and one the UK's hardest working bands. Keyboards can make a band sound so eighties, but Adam came up with a way of giving more balls and letting the bottom end be quite heavy. We try to keep the verses quite, tight and funky. Then heavy strong catchy choruses. A great benefit is we can do three part harmonies, as you would hear on J low bob. I would say that we are better live, and if you like the music you should see it live! Where do you get your inspiration? The dream to play music for a living. I get inspiration from every drummer I hear. Who do we sound like? LEON What is your band nickname? Seanie seanie sean sean. What do you do to relax? Gigs |
