Leroy Biography
With the success of such genre-busting artists as Beck,
it suddenly became "okay" to let many musical styles seep into your sound --
rap, funk, punk, folk, blues, folk, and so on. 2001 saw the self-titled debut
release from Leroy, and upon first listen, it's obvious that he's been inspired
by Beck's melting-pot rock style. A native of Spokane, WA, Leroy was turned on
to the classic rock sounds of Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and Elton John at an early
age via his parents' record collection. With dreams of rock stardom blossoming
after picking up the guitar, he relocated to Los Angeles in the early '90s.
After years of paying dues playing clubs and working dead-end jobs, Leroy was
signed to Hollywood in 1999. Before the release of his 2001 self-titled debut,
his songs had already popped up in movies (10 Things I Hate About You) and TV
shows (Felicity). ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
