We have Leon jean Marie playing on a loop this week!

Leon Jean Marie is yet another artist who's been given the 'Ronse-over'- his debut single Bed of Nails was produced by Mark Ronson who knows how to spot talent better than Simon Cowell!
Leon's debut album, Bent out of Shape, is out on June 30th and includes the Ronson track as well as his latest single Bring it On which should be on everyone's playlist this summer. We've been listening to it on a loop in the office!
Leon's opened gigs for the likes of Amy Wino and Mika, but this summer he is stepping up his game solo-style with appearances at Glasto and the O2 Wireless Festival on July 4th in London's Hyde Park. He'll also be supposrting Estelle throughout June.
Leon says that his influences are Radiohead, Badly Drawn Boy and Beck but expect something infinitely more upbeat and dancy than these artists on this album - it was mixed by Jason Cox who has mixed all the Gorillaz music as well as Jamie T’s debut.
Check out the Bring it On video here:
Loving the suit, the moves and the bandana!

- 27 Jun at the Tree Jam Festival Bowood House, Wiltshire
