Leroy Sanchez, on of my idols!


Hi people!
I'm going to talk about one of my favourite singer. He maybe isn't too popular, but he's a great artist. I'll start talking about his story. 
He's a Spanish boy, who was born in Vitoria. His real name is Leroy Bejarano Sánchez, but his artistic name is Leroy Sánchez (@IamLeroySanchez). He uploaded his first video to YouTube when he was only 16, where he appears singing the song "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson and playing the guitar. He continued uploading more videos, singing songs like "Halo" by Beyoncé, "Down" by Jay Sean, "Walking away" by Craig David, etc. In his videos, he's really funny and kind!  Halo was one of his most popular videos, here you can see it.

















He is the one who plays de piano and the guitar in his videos.  In addition, he has some videos singing with another people by the Internet, not face to face. For example, in this video singing "Lucky" by Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat:



And when he was 19, one day, he received an important call from the USA. It was Jim Jonsin, the Beyoncé's producer, and he wanted him to go to Florida and record some songs. It was an enormous change for Leroy, he left his studies and went to Florida. He continued studying there, and he was living his dream. He continued recording cover of songs, and he also uploaded original songs in a studio, so the audio quality was better than his previous videos. Last year, he wrote a very special song called "Words Unspoken". It's special because it's been made with quotes of his fans. On his twitter, he opened the hasthag #WordsUnspoken. Everyone could tweet any quote with that hashtag, and Leroy chose some of them, so the lyircs of the song are made by lots of his fans. And in addition, the song is very beautiful, here you can here it:

In December, he filmed a sort of a videoclip of the song "People help the people". In my opinion, is a very deep song, I love it:
In February, he uploaded a video called "Nebulous", where he thanks everyone who has supported him and says that he would stop singing other artist's songs, and start making original music. Here it is:
After that, lots of his fans "complained", because they prefered the old videos singin popular songs. But in my opinion, it's a great decision. I enjoyed a lot his videos singin those songs, but making his own music is his chance to rise in the music's world. Is the only way to get popular, and he has a great talent to do it, I'm sure he will become more popular, he deserves it. Since he uploaded this video, he has uploaded few videos, because he has been working on the studio, and making his own disc. But he recorded a song with a very beautiful singer called Brittany Mullen. The song was written by her, and is called "War island":
And before this, the song "Fell off the moon", an original song written by Brittany Mullen, Frank Romano and, of course, Leroy Sanchez:
He has said on his twitter that he will soon show his work, and I'm very excited to hear it! I really appreciate him because I think he has a really great talent, he's more talented than other popular singers. And his story is worthy of merit, he started uploading his videos made at home to YouTube, and an importat producer found him. I think it's incredible.
Well, I hope you loved this artist as much as I do!! I leave here one of his best videos, "Love on Top" by Beyoncé, a very difficult song:
Enjoy it!! :)
