Born in Guildford, England in 1986, this self-taught musician began playing piano at the age of 12. By the time Rupert Leighton was 14, he was irreversably hooked on blues and jazz.
At the tender age of 16, Leighton was a professional musician on the local club circuit and left school to set up his own studio. Just a mere two years later, he had written and produced enough material to release his debut album, Beyond Reflection. Rupert Leighton intertwined nuances from both acoustic and electronic music with jazz-infused piano. Airplay in Europe, Australia and the USA has increased his recognition around the world.
Take the Sidewalk (2006) is an organic maturation for the artist that reflects musical influences from St. Germain and Herbie Hancock to Prince and Sting.
Time will only tell where this young artist will be in the future. Meanwhile, be sure to check out clips from the eleven tracks of Take the Sidewalk.
