Fleur East

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.
