Age: 18
From: West Lothian, Scotland
Job: Sales assistant at Gap
History: Leon grew up with his mum in West Lothian. Leon's mum has struggled financially and he is desperate to win X Factor to give them a better life.
He only started singing properly in January after his mum bought him an iPod, so he could record his voice. After playing some voice recordings to his friends, they were so impressed they have been regularly making him do karaoke.
Leon's favourite music is jazz and his influences are Michael Buble and Jamie Cullum. Apart from karate, Leon says that singing is the only thing that makes him happy.
If he wasn't on X Factor, Leon would be starting university to do an architectural technology course.
HMV's Gennaro Castaldo says: "Leon could also do very well. He's young, with cute looks. It will probably also help Leon that he is Scottish - he should be able to count on quite a few votes from north of the border."
