The Leano is a creative force residing in the North of London. First and Foremost The Leano is a rapper and poet who has rapped for over ten years in London and Hull. Beginning at the tender age of 15 he has pushed many nights throughout the country encouraging artistic expression and creativity from BASS BEHAVIOUR in Hull to SUNDAY SOUNDTRACK in London.
Most recently, he has become an intergral part of the UK hiphop scene by promoting and hosting london's finest hiphop night SCRATCHCLUBWEDNESDAY at The Social W1 every other wednesday. This night has provided a much needed stage for london's best and biggest hiphop acts from Stig and Syntax to Skrein, we've welcomed them all.
But hosting london's leading night is not Leano's only strength. He is a rapper and poet who is constantly pushing the boundaries of rap through his music. Not contented with the use of Sample banks and loops he has created a completely different sound that has redefined the rules of the genre.Two years ago, The Leano released STEPS TO LEANOLAND, his debut album under his own independent label COLARJRECORDS and it sold over 1000 copies across the country gaining national airplay and critical acclaim. These songs are still available to buy below...The Leano is not just a promoter and performer, he is also an education artist working across the country attempting to teach young people the joy of creativity through words. His workshops presently encourage young people to write poetry and rap about themselves and their society, trying their hardest to stay away from the false ideologies of the BLING culture...Over 5 years of teaching he has gained training and experience from a range of different organisations including BREAKINGPOINT, Apples and Snakes and Bigfoot... this has led to his realisation of THE UPLIFT PROJECT Ltd., a course that attempts to get young people creating a song and music video within 10 hours.
