BREAKDOWN.
tw: death mention, & substance abuse / addiction
Born in London, England — lived there until the age of ten.
TW death — His mother decided to move their family to Portland, Oregon ( being her hometown ), due to the unexpected passing of her husband.
Was inspired to further his musical interest, wanting to be more like his father. He vowed to himself that he would do whatever it took to achieve his dreams.
Started a garage band in high school; the band went through many variations, and truly didn’t settle on a stable group until his early twenties.
They played many local gigs, but after a while, it just wasn’t cutting it anymore.
The group made a collective decision to move to Hollywood, California ( age 25 ).
They all lived in a shitty apartment, and got whatever part-time job was good enough to pay the bills.
It seemed like they couldn’t catch a break; no true interest from any agent.
Age 27 — the band slowly started to get a little bit of traction with the locals, forming a small following. Quite literally tiny. But the support was well appreciated.
Leland knew something had to be done. He would work on potential new songs for hours on end. Decided to revamp their sound/style.
Everything took close to a year to finalize, but an EP was the result. And from that, one of their songs took off.
Age 29 — Contacted by a record label a few months afterwards, signed a contract, and then were pushed through the process of getting their brand out there.
Completely relied on his team — his first mistake.
TW drugs — introduced to drugs, and the Hollywood afterlife; constant late nights filled with partying and mingling.
Met @flohastings at an after party, and was absolutely smitten. The two started to date shortly after, the main connection between the two being that their industry had turned them both into products.
After 3 years of dating, Leland returned home from a tour ( upon the news of Flo getting let go ), only to notice that neither her — or her stuff — was anywhere to be found.
TW addiction — Cue the spiral of confusion, and addiction. Leland decided to self-medicate the only way he knew how. This set him up for a continued disaster. He missed gigs, and had to cancel shows due to his lack of stability. His record label choosing to drop him as a result; not being able to handle such a liability.
Being separated for a year, Leland needed answers— closure was something of high importance to him, and maybe there was even a larger ounce of selfishness that just craved seeing her again.
He never had intentions of staying in Eureka for the long haul, but the longer he was here, the more it just became a routine. His addictions were still getting the best of him, and it wasn’t until a few months ago that he even considered getting help. But after having a few rough events take place, he leaned on Flo for support— finally accompanying her to a meeting.
So, he bit his tongue, and made the choice to sign up for a 90 day treatment. Which he recently finished up, and is slowly beginning his journey once again.
ADD-ONS.
Leland was gifted his father’s stratocaster; it’s his baby, and it’s pretty much the only guitar he used when recording.
His band, whilst still together, had a similar sound to that of: Arctic Monkeys, Catfish and the Bottlemen, COIN, & The Hunna — very indie, alt rock vibes.
His accent hasn’t exactly stuck around, since moving at such a young age, though Leland had a tendency to force it out more when he sung; his record label thought it gave the sound a little extra kick.
Whilst he was in Hollywood, Leland had a part-time job at some diner. It wasn’t much, and he had to work his way into the kitchen, but it was all he could do to help pay for his music career. Luckily enough for him, that one skill is now his saving grace.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
