Leon Jackson is 18 years of age and comes from West Lothian, Scotland. He has been working as a Gap Sales Assistant. Leon is an only child having been raised by his mother in West Lothian where they live. Having purchased an iPod earlier this year and recoded his singing voice, Leon impressed friends who decided more people should get to hear Leon's vocal talent and got him involved in karaoke. About to embark on a course in architectural technology, Leon's chance to be in the Final 12 has enabled him now to look to his singing. His favourite music artists include Jamie Cullum and Michael Bublé.
