Kiran Leonard is a mercurially talented 22 year old musician from Saddleworth, Greater Manchester. He takes inspiration from artists such as Mothers of Invention, Sufjan Stevens, Deerhoof, Albert Ayler, the Residents, Krzysztof Penderecki, the Beach Boys, Don Caballero, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Adrian Belew.

After countless digital-only releases via Bandcamp, Leonard garnered much acclaim for his debut album 'Bowler Hat Soup' (2013), and later signed to Moshi Moshi to release second album proper 'Grapefruit' (2016). Both albums generated three BBC 6 Music-playlisted singles, and both were crowned Album Of The Day upon release. In 2017 Leonard released 'Derevaun Seraun'; a piece of work consisting of five movements, each inspired by a different piece of literature, arranged for piano, strings and voice.
