Birmingham born Lady Leshurr is a female MC/singer and producer.
A powerful performance on last year’s Glastonbury Introducing stage has thrown Leshurr into the limelight and she is fast becoming known as “the one to watch” (Mike Skinner – Guardian Newspaper).
Leshurr’s material blends her unique sound with popular genres encompassing house, hip hop, dancehall and pop. Citing Lil Wayne as one of her key influences, Leshurr could already be his female equivalent. She loves to experiment and constantly seeks to further her vision to create a sound that takes music to a whole new level.
Leshurr has featured on tracks with Tinie Tempah, Wiley, Lethal B and Dot Rotten, and since signing a publishing deal with EMI, she was worked with a range of producers including R1, Noisa, Loco and Wizzy Wow. She was a part of the Female Takeover alongside Lioness and Baby Blue, and was also invited by DJ Cameo to feature on his collaboration track, “Who’s Dat?”. Leshurr recently supported Wiley on his nationwide tour and has just finished touring with Lethal B and Ghetts as part of the Bigga Fish tour.
The talk of the UK’s urban scene, Leshurr now has the support of the UK’s premiere hip hop DJs, Tim Westwood, Mista Jam, Target and Cameo; and she is beginning to grab the attention of both Radio One and Galaxy Networks. Her recent cover of the Chris Brown/Busta Rhymes collab “Look At Me Now” has become a global phenomenon, amassing in excess of 100,000 hits in half a day on www.worldstarhiphop.com.
In June 2011, Lady Leshurr launched her own record label, Gutter Strut Recordings, in partnership with her manager.
