Leon Bratt started playing acoustic guitar, aged seven, at school, continuing until he gained two A-Levels in Rockschool Grade Eight. In 2005 Leon formed a rock band, named The Reverb, with two of his best friends and, as the frontman, handled lead guitar and vocals.
The Reverb broke up in 2007 and Leon then started a new rock band, Enraged Horizon, with three school friends, again playing lead guitar and singing. They played at various venues, including Esquires at Bedford and won a battle of the bands that led to supporting slot with The Lightening Seeds.
Leon started to perform solo acoustically in 2010 and this year, as a result of his involvement with Live and Unsigned, played at Osfest, supporting a list of acts that included Dappy, Razorlight, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Levi Roots.
He also played at the Folk On The Water festival and is set to play at at JustSoFestival and Looe Festival in Cornwall, supporting The Stranglers and The Levellers - again, direct results of his success in Live and Unsigned.
“Leon has it all. He looks the part and has a real star quality that engages the audience instantly. Big things lie ahead for Leon.”
