Daz leigh was born in wolverhampton uk , may 1975 . school education was important to him but was dreaming of other things . music was his dream .
just left school and being in the local light of rock bands .
dreamed of being in a rock band aswell .
helping out a local band , as a roadie .
at 17 daz was picked to front a new rock and punk band .
a manufactured boy band that played rock music .
the choice of name for the band was daz leigh..s , leathernex . leathernex supported a few rock bands , leathernex relest the album manufactured .
and so the 5 lads were going strong .
there idols of rock , were now there frends . with late night partys , drinking and what goes with it took its toll .
with a loss of a frend , he was out of control .
at 17 and being in a rock band , daz was just to young .
after an incedent at the nec it was just to much .
at 17 he deceided to have time out . time out to consider his options .
at 18 he applied for a job at butlins , a total twist of career , but the opportunity fell for the shows they had , so the first slab was layed for daz to forfill another ambition . theatre . began doing small parts , set design and lighting . then supporting roles . his break for theatre came when he was cast do take the leading role in the wizard . a magical wizzard sent back in time to save the king . he was still writing songs so his music was inevitable . well giveing up is not his stlyle but haveing a solo spell just might be the answer , to start enjoying music again . with a voice that was a mix of soul , blues and rock , a young joe cocker . with his stage presence that was lets say bizarre , and hair that was long platted and multi coloured he was a punk rocker with soul . the rock style attitude and with his song writing skills. his solo music with the help of recored producer ; stewart felding and jon cundy saw a new daz leigh . heaven , losing you , freedream his first recordings in years , he did have a short time with westwoodjax with the song heaven knows . now in 2008 , daz leigh is back , a new rock and blues band was forming . after 1 phone call aranged to all meet up and have a jaming seasion . the stage was set , rob , den , chris and daz were meeting every week , the bond was getting stronger yet still with no name these four guys had the same ideas , an uncanny formula to deliver . weeks passed yet still undecided about the name for the band , there was hope . mean red spiders were born . rob on drums , den on bass , chris on guitar and daz was back . now wiser and older daz leigh has carlmed down alot but still has the power to deliver , and also has other interests . apart from fronting the mean red spiders which he is 100% involved , daz leigh is a radio presenter on local nottingham and derby radio , and an actor . he has been in sort films , music vidios and is in the new forth coming film bronson where he playes a prison psychiatric nurse along side terry stone and tom hardy , a vertigo film on charles bronson .
