Leon Everette
Leon Everette was born in Aiken, South Carolina. As a small boy he moved to Queens, NY where he was raised. In 1968, while serving in the Navy in Vietnam, Leon entered a won a Navy sponsored talent contest. This was the beginning of Leons musical career.
After a move to Ward, South Carolina Everette formed a part time band and started playing locally. After repeated trips to Nashville he got a job in the mail room at True Records. Leon then partnered with Carroll Fulmer of Orlando Records. His first record to make the top ten Billboard Charts was "Over". This led to a recording contract with RCA in 1980 which garnered 11 straight top ten records. One of those songs being his hit "Hurricane" which peaked at #1. The hit song was so popular in Louisiana that he served as the Grand Marshall of Mardi Gras.
Everette's popularity then led to his being the first country artist ever to perform in Italy. in 1981 Leon was nominated for "New Male Vocalist Of The Year". During 1983 he had one of the biggest selling records of the year "Give Me What You Think Is Fair" and his band, Hurricane, won "Traveling Band Of The Year". He also had the honor of being one of the first country artists to perform at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
To many fans, Leon Everette's strongest attribute was his high energy when performing live. A Leon Everette performance seemed to have the energy of a "Hurricane" as he was never one to just stand around, strum a guitar, and sing. In the mid 1980's, suffering from burnout, Everette retired from the music industry and moved back to Ward, South Carolina where he became involved with several business endeavors.
In 1997, Everette came to know the Lord Jesus Christ. He has since devoted his life to the Lord and his church. He and his lovely wife, Diane, are mainstays in their church located in Aiken, South Carolina. Much to the delight of those who loved his music, Leon started touring again and performing country gospel music. He is now recording in his own recording studio "The Tool Shed" with many of his former musicians. They are all dedicated to spreading God's word through their music. He is using the talent and energy that once went into his country music career to now uplift and praise God.
The first part of 2016, Leon was invited back to Nashville by a former friend and business colleage Jimmy Adams and Little David Wilkins. Little David had just written a gospel song titled "I Stand The Tallest When I'm Down On My Knees". The great mind of Jimmy Adams thought this would make a phenomenal hit by paring together Little David and Leon to record the song which became a #1 record five weeks in the charts.
This led to a management deal with Jimmy Adams & JAM Social Media Group. Thanks to Jimmy Adams, Little David Wilkins, & The JAM team media specialist Leon has now taken off on his second career. You can watch Leons videos and his label mates on www.itube247.com.
Leon says, "Now I'm having more fun with Jesus in MY band!"
