The multi-talented Fleur East
became a TV sensation following a series of extraordinary musical performances
on The X Factor. Now Fleur – a talented urban artist, songwriter, dancer, and
rapper – can add national radio DJ, fitness influencer, and fashion designer to
her list of achievements. The London-born performer is influenced by hip-hop,
funk and D&B, working with dance musicians such as Drumsound, Culture Shock
and DJ Fresh – with whom she toured in 2012, taking in V Festival, T4 On the
Beach, and iTunes Festival.
Fleur East is an energetic
and exciting live performer: her high-energy take on ‘Uptown Funk’ for The X
Factor semi-finals was described as ‘truly astonishing’ by The Guardian. This
memorable performance has become a historic TV moment and remains one of Simon
Cowell’s favourites, driving Fleur to become the show’s first act to reach No 1
in the iTunes chart.
After signing to Syco Records,
East reached the UK Top 5 with her funky debut single ‘Sax’ before recording
her debut album Love, Sax and Flashbacks with respected artists such as Jack
Splash, TMS and the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling trio The Invisible
Men. After touring the UK, she signed to Columbia Records and stormed the
States with appearances on The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Today
Show, and Dancing With The Stars.
Fleur’s recent appearance on
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here showcased her warmth, wit and rapping
ability to the nation, making her a regular presence on daytime television shows,
including The One Show and This Morning, where the fitness fan hosts the show’s
Inch Loss Island segment. Continuing to release exciting new music and touring
internationally, Fleur was recently confirmed as the new host of the Hits Radio
Breakfast Show alongside James Barr and Greg Burns.
