Fall and I will Catch You - Kristian Leontiou
From the album “Some Day Soon“
Background and Career
---------------------------------
Kristian went to Hatch End High School in Harrow, he finished school and worked several jobs in and around London whilst concentrating on music when he had any free time.
When he was 17 Kristian met Mike Sault of Warner Chappell publishing in 2001, a subsequent deal allowed him to work on his music full time and in 2003 he signed a major record deal with Polydor.
His debut single Story of My Life was released in June 2004 and reached the top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. His second single Shining peaked at #13 whilst the album Some Day Soon was certified gold selling in excess of 150,000 copies
Kristian toured the album in November 2004 taking him to the US to work with L.A Reid, Chairman of the Island Def Jam music group.
Unhappy with the direction his career was going, on a flight back from the US in 2004 he decided to take his music in a new direction.
Splitting from his label in late 2005, Kristian went on to collaborate with Faithless on the song Hope & Glory for their album To All New Arrivals. It was this release that saw Kristian unleash the One eskimO moniker.
It was through working with Rollo Armstrong on the Faithless album, that Rollo got to hear an early demo of Astronauts from the One eskimO project. Being more than impressed by what he heard, Rollo opened both his arms and studio doors to Kristian and they began to co-produce the All Balloons album.
It was at this time that he paired up with good friend Adam Falkner, a drummer/musician, to introduce a live acoustic sound to the album. They recorded the album with engineer Phill Brown (engineer for Bob Marley and Robert Plant) at Ark studios in St John’s Wood where they recorded live then headed back to Rollo’s studio to add the cinematic electro touches that are prominent on the album.
Shortly after its completion, One Eskimo’s Hometime was used on a Toyota Prius advert in the USA. The funds from the advert were then used to develop the visual aspect of One eskimO.
He teamed up with friend Nathan Erasmus (Gravy Media Productions) along with animation team Smuggling Peanuts (Matt Latchford and Lucy Sullivan) who together began to develop the One eskimO world, the first animation produced was for the track Hometime which went on to win a British animation award in 2008.
In 2008 Kristian started a new management venture with ATC Music. By mid-2008 Time Warner came on board to develop all 10 One eskimO animations which were produced the highly regarded Passion Pictures in London. Now with all animation complete and a debut album, One eskimO prepare to unveil themselves fully to the world in summer 2009.
Murder victim Meredith Kercher made a cameo appearance in the music video for Kristian Leontiou’s song, Some Say, in 2004, 3 years before she was found dead in Italy
