Lee Desty

It took English singer-songwriter Lee Desty just two attempts to win his first major American songwriting contest with his distinctively commercial folk-pop delivered via his "stunning" fingerstyle guitar playing. 

His first attempt - the lively uptempo Completely Yours - got to the final of the Hollywood Song Contest - but this year "Always Reminders", his beautifully melodic song about a family photo album, won the highly competitive folk section of that contest. Another of his songs got to the semi-finals of the 2017 UK Songwriting Contest.

A former BBC TV News journalist and programme Editor, Lee started out his musical journey playing Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Cat Stevens and Simon and Garfunkel hits in the 1970s.

He didn't embark on serious songwriting until the last decade. Since then he's recorded two albums of his original songs won over hundreds of fans to his high-quality music - mostly in the USA and Canada.

"It's great hearing feedback from individual fans in the States and getting recognition from music industry professionals about my songs. These days I spend a lot of time listening to Indie folk and modern country and some of that is shaping how I write new songs. 

"I always strive to make my songs reach out and be accessible to others and I'm hoping I can win over some more new fans in the next 12 months," added Lee

Samuel Florexil was born on June 2, 1988, in West Palm Beach, FL. He spent his childhood days in South Florida. Growing up as a toddler, he used any household utensils to drum with on anything that would produce a sound, and took the stage for the first time to sing at the age of seven.

Since Samuel grew a passion for music, and was introduce to all genres of music by one of, his sisters who would buy him various CDs. Michael Jackson, and Justin Timberlake mostly influenced him. He would spend time studying the art of music and sing along.

Growing up, He also surrounded himself with great musicians to learn and perfect his skills as a drummer. Others would often say, “You know when Sam is playing the drums, his sound is unique”. However, his voice made an impact to many by leading worship, directing choirs, and performing at weddings.

 Being in love with music his whole life, and teaching himself how to do different runs, and hitting the right notes vocally, Samuel Florexil is now ready to introduce his sound to the world with the stage name Sam Least. His debut single Post Master is an analogy to let the listeners know that he will be bringing hits to their streaming platform. Hits that are not define by one genre, but all genres and different types of music. Sam Least believes music is universal and so is his sound.
