James Leon (United Kingdom)

Listen to James Leon Official James Leon links Share this James Leon page on

The 80's inspired retro modster British vocalist/songwriter James Leon is an original and intersting solo artist whose material brings together some diverse influences to produce a sound which is highly accessible yet unique. There is an electro/synth pop vibe to the James' music, but the key factor is melody and strong hooks, proper songs and not just stylistic statements. The lyrics are original and incisive, sometimes spiky, sometimes emotive and he has performed live at many central London venues including The Mau Mau Bar, Shebu, The Millenium Club, Kabaret, The Arts Cafe, Cherryjam, The Gate, The Bug Bar, The Foundry, Viva Viva...
