Andy Leek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andy Leek (1964- ) is an English musician, noted for his talent as a keyboardist and songwriter. At the age of 16 he was playing with Dexys Midnight Runners on "Geno" and starting a solo career under the pseudonym "Andde Leek". In the 1980s Leek had been playing with The Blue Ox Babes, writing songs for the likes of Frida and false-starting a career in the movies.
Acknowledging his talent, Atlantic Records signed Andy in 1988 and enlisted George Martin to produce the album, "Say Something". But it wasn't successful enough for the record company and it wasn't till the mid-90s that Andy released new material on CD.
For several years now, Andy has been very popular on the party circuit, latterly with his group The Blue Angels.
Andy is currently working on new material and projects with guitarist Jonathan Dingley-Jones.
