Adam Leonard is an English singer-songwriter working mainly in the folk , rock and roll and electronic music fields. His first album 'How Music Sounds' was released in 2003 to modest critical acclaim but poor sales.

His style is often described as lo-fi and the subject matter of his songs unconventional - more E.V.P. , ectoplasm and alien invasion than "boy meets girl". ...more on Wikipedia about "Adam Leonard"
