Leona Lewis still remains UK UNSIGNED's biggest protege in its 10 year history. She first appeared on our circuit in 2000 at a showcase at a school in Essex. In June of that year she performed in a special showcase at the Institute of Directors. However, because of her father's commitment to push her career, she was never available to follow through with any of her UK UNSIGNED successes until 2005 as she always had promotional dates that clashed with ours.

Now 10 years on, she has become one of the world's best selling female artists with platinum selling albums, numerous number ones singles and sold out tours. She is proof that hard work always pays off in the end and that UK UNSIGNED provides a platform for performers to learn their performance craft.
