Kristian Leontiou

Kristian Leontiou (born February 1982) is a British singer of Greek Cypriot descent, and is the singer for the indie rock band One eskimO.

Background and career

Leontiou 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 he 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. He was dubbed "the new Dido". His debut single "Story of My Life" was released in June 2004 and reached number 9 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

Leontiou 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, he went on to collaborate with Faithless on the song "Hope & Glory" for their album ‘'To All New Arrivals'’. It was this release that saw him 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 Leontiu and they began to co-produce the ‘'All Balloons’' album.

Story of My Life (Social Distortion song)

"Story of My Life" is a 1990 song by Social Distortion, written by Mike Ness, which was released as a single and also appeared on their self-titled album as well as Live at the Roxy. The song describes a love interest he had as a teenager that he never really acted upon and years later he's looking back wistfully on how things have changed and how quickly his life (and the opportunity) has passed him by.

Although it failed to chart on all of the major charts, it is one of the band's biggest hits, and received heavy airplay.
