Born and raised in London, with strong roots in the USA, the 22-year-old was initially inspired to write by the work of John Mayer and Ben Howard: crafting heart-rending pop songs anchored in the blues. However, since achieving success online and on radio Les has begun to combine elements of Hip Hop and Pop into his sound under the pseudonym ‘Lesito’ developing a style that is challenging yet radio-friendly.

Currently, Les is concluding his studies at the University of York whilst working to release teaser demos from his upcoming EP’s on Soundcloud. Les is the one to watch as in 2016 this bold young singer-songwriter plans to release not one, but two very different debut EP’s under the stage names ‘Lesito’ and ‘Les Thompson’.
