Having spanned close to 3 decades in the entertainment industry as an artist, LEEE JOHN has been an all round artist, singer, writer, record producer, actor ,and recently a film producer. Leee came to the world's attention with his group IMAGINATION which he founded in the early 80s.
Imagination was signed by MORGAN KHAN after hearing the track GOT TO BE GOOD. Produced by Trevor Horn (producer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Seal, Grace Jones to name but a few) , the master tape was sent to the states to get reproduced but unfortunately got lost and the outcome looked bleak. Leee was introduced to producer Tony Swain and given a piece of music to write some lyrics and a melody . He went home and came up with what became IMAGINATION's first gold record- the hit single BODY TALK.
With hits such as IN AND OUT OF LOVE, FLASHBACK, MUSIC AND LIGHTS, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and JUST AN ILLUSION, millions of singles were sold internationally. IMAGINATION also went platinum worldwide with sales in excess of 30 million albums. As a result IMAGINATION were playing to sold out concerts across the globe. IMAGINATION's songs have also more recently been sampled by a number of major artists including Mariah Carey and The Pharcyde.
Leee and IMAGINATION made their mark not only as musicians but as true masters of stage and performance. They were known for their outrageous costumes and stage shows and as such were invited to perform for the Princes Trust, HRH Princess Diana and Prince Charles, Princess Caroline of Monaco , the Mandela family in South Africa for the charity OPERATION HUNGER and even for the Russian president at the Kremlin.
In 2009, Leee is about to release a brand new compilation of remixes entitled SENSUALITY (originally a track off the FEEL MY SOUL album). The DJ Samidee remix of SENSUALITY has been getting mammoth radio play in the USA has just entered the BILLBOARD HOT 50 and is destined to be in the top ten.
