Get to know Leighton

As an eleven year old, Leighton needed a bone marrow transplant - but luckily his brother was a match and became his donor, and whilst in hospital he taught himself the guitar and piano, time spent wisely indeed!

He spends his days in the studio writing with some BIG names; he’s even played a 160,000 strong crowd whilst supporting Bob Dylan, blimey!

His Blind Audition of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Heaven Help Us All’ certainly got Paloma’s attention, but she just couldn’t spin that chair as her team was full, but luckily Boy George loved him too and granted him a place on his team.
