Lehtmojoe

Biography:
Producer and artist LehtMoJoe is an emerging force on the modern music scene. A Dallas local, Leht has been creating visionary music for over ten years. With an extensive knowledge of musical styles and movements, he has proven himself able to produce tracks which draw from multiple genres and eras yet accurately capture, and even predict, mainstream trends. Leht's repertoire deftly joins the past with the present and future. In 2005, Leht formed the live hip hop band Free Agent, which he produced and fronted. With influences that spanned the genres of rock, pop, hip hop, and dance, Free Agent's unique musical stylings were recognized across the nation, placing third in the Emergenza Music Festival national finals and receiving airplay on XM Radio. Free Agent's debut album Attention, Center of was released in 2007. In 2009, Leht released solo album Spaghetti Western while hosting a live show at the Granada Theater in Dallas. Spaghetti Western tracks, together with a string of smart remixes, received significant attention on the local Dallas music scene and international airplay through venues such as Hype Machine Radio, BBC Radio 1, and Mark Ronson's Authentic Shit. Official remixes released by Royksopp, Dragonette, Au Revoir Simone, and Major Lazer established Leht as a force on the electronic scene. Leht released his sophmore solo album Aisle7 in 2011, confronting the seemingly difficult challenge of pairing the nostalgic synth-pop from his youth with the polished electro sheen that fans of his music have come to expect. Helping LehtMoJoe accomplish this task were vocalists Max Brown, Sedrick Stylez, Xavier Marquis, and Sara Dean, whose distinctive personalities played a large part in shaping the album's characteristic attitude. Leht has worked with a number of artists in pop and hip-hop genres. Masterfully handling both original material and remixes, his creative vision, instinctive musical ear, and skillful execution render him an effective and insightful producer. Above all, he is recognized as an innovator, bringing a unique style with fresh sounds to the industry. As he continues to push the boundaries of popular music, LehtMoJoe is always on the lookout for a new challenge.
