The esteemed Kingdom Choir, renowned for their breathtaking performances at the Royal Wedding and King Charles’ Coronation, has expressed a strong interest in a composition by Huddersfield’s esteemed Prof Graham Leslie CBE. Prof Leslie, a distinguished entrepreneur and professor at the University of Huddersfield, has captured the attention of the London-based gospel choir with his powerful songwriting, leading them to consider incorporating more of his pieces in their upcoming album.
Prof Leslie’s work has previously made a significant impact. With a notable track record in founding a global pharmaceutical company and playing a pivotal role in the establishment of the John Smith’s Stadium, he is no stranger to making a mark in various industries. His venture into songwriting, in collaboration with his brother Hugh, has now garnered the admiration of the Kingdom Choir, who recently performed their song “United Together” during a sold-out anniversary concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, marking its live debut.
In an interview, Prof Leslie expressed his delight at hearing the Choir bring his creation to life, describing it as an “exhilarating” experience. Following this successful collaboration, the Choir now intends to feature three or four more of his songs in their forthcoming album, a prospect that Prof Leslie finds to be truly wonderful.
The mutual respect between Prof Leslie and the Kingdom Choir has opened doors to further projects. Collaborating with acclaimed composer Benson Taylor, known for his work in popular American TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy and Suits, Prof Leslie is currently involved in a major musical endeavor. It was Taylor who facilitated the introduction of Prof Leslie’s songs to the Choir, with “United Together” being the first piece to capture their attention.
Prof Leslie’s songwriting talents extend beyond his recent accomplishments, with one of his earliest compositions, “Travelling Home For Christmas,” capturing the hearts of audiences and raising funds for the redevelopment of a cancer and leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Notably, this heartwarming Christmas tune has also garnered attention from La Toya Jackson, sister of the legendary Michael Jackson, and is scheduled for release in 2024.
