Kieran Leonard is a name you will become very familiar with in the future.
He has just released his first and very accomplished album entitled 'Out Of Work Astronaut'.
Kieran is particularly known for his poetical song writing and compelling live performances. There is a clear social and political awareness in his writing with an abundance of literary and cultural references. He has had critical comparisons to Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain and Leonard Cohen. In early 2011 his first single 'Jerusalem' was used in the soundtrack for Ridley Scott's latest documentary film ' Life in a Day'.
In Spring 2012 Kieran established his 'The Chance To Fail Foundation' as a response to the London riots and the closure of community youth centres. The foundation for 12-16 year olds aims to teach the craft of songwriting and recording music as a constructive creative outlet, and a way of empowering disadvantaged young people in the capital.
