Lesette Wilson

 

 

Born In New York, pianist / producer / songwriter Lesette Wilson began her career as a fusion and jazz-rock performer. She was a featured keyboardist on Tom Browne's 'Love Approach' LP in 1980, notably on his big hit 'Funkin' For Jamaica.'


That led to a solo deal with Headfirst Records, and Wilson's 'Now That I've Got Your Attention' was issued in 1981. That set included the track 'Caveman Boogie', which is now highly collectable on the U.K. rare groove scene.

In 1986 Lesette teamed up with vocalist Meli'sa Morgan in 1986 as a writer and producer. She worked on the singles as 'Do You Still Love Me' and 'Fool's Paradise' and both albums, 'Do Me Baby' and 'Good Love'. She also co-wrote and produced Genobia Jeter's 'All Of My Love,' and then recorded another single for the Some-1 label 'Look Into Tomorrow.'

Wilson also recorded with Roy Ayers on his 'Africa, Center Of The World' LP with Fela Anikulapo-Kuti in 1981, and with Najee and Steven Dante.

In 1993, Lesette released 'Unmasked' on Atlantic Records. 'Unmasked' featured, amongst others, artistic input from Saundra Williams, Toni Smith (Lead vocalist on Tom Browne's 'Funkin' For Jamaica'), Gerry Devaux and Angie Stone (during her time as part of the group Vertical Hold).

Her  new album entitled 'Livin' In The Zone', has just been released and Lesette will be making special appearances all over the United States to promote her Album.
