LeShawn Tucker, known as "S. Tuck," is ready to add a new feel to R&B. Fans say he takes Soul and Hip-Hop, mixed with his own first-class music creations, to create a fresh style that gives R&B a new twist."
LeShawn grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, a very tough place to grow up. While living with his grandparents, at age six, everyone that knew him understood that there was something unique about him. He started singing in the childrens choir at church and never stopped singing since. From kindergarten solos to college shows that will always be remembered, LeShawn has a true love for performing, and those that have seen him never forget him. He also has the necessary look for mainstream marketability.
He has recently finished recording his second CD titled Stuck in Love. His first album, The Collection, he wrote and produced over the years of growing up. He outdoes himself with his new album, Stuck in Love. This CD has what it takes to be a classic hit worldwide. As a producer, LeShawn is a wizard of strings and horns. His productions sound like someone took a symphony orchestra and gave them more street flavor. He only plans to make more and more just like it.
"I love performing and watching crowds of people engage in my story. It's like I know they're feeling what I'm saying, so it's my job to help them express that in ways they couldn't without music," says LeShawn.
Besides singing, LeShawn is a well-rounded dancer. Although he prefers Hip-Hop, he has also studied Jazz and Tap. He is a radio DJ on 106.9 WWSU in Dayton, Ohio, and is no rookie in the theater. He has performed on the Tom Joyner Show, BET Comic View, Carnival Cruise Ship, and a Raven Simone and a European Tour. He has shared the stage with Billy Blanks Jr., Debra Wilson, Tom Hanks, and J Anthony Brown, just to name a few. He has won numerous awards for his performances and has made many TV appearances. He was a soloist singer, dancer, and member of the winning "Team Lachey" on the hit NBC show "Clash of the Choir" with Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland, Patti LaBelle, Blake Shelton, and Michael Bolton.
LeShawn is a trained pianist along with many other instruments. His influences are Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, James Brown, Usher, Joe, Boyz II Men, and Michael Jackson. "My passion for music comes from my grandmother's support of me. She never let me just get by. She taught me that practice and determination are the key. I thank God for her everyday," explains LeShawn.
