About Jeff Leslie

Jeff became a quadriplegic after diving into an incorrectly marked lake when he was 25. He was a music teacher at a Christian jr/sr high school but he also had been been writing and singing Christian music since he was 15.

After he became paralyzed in the mid-80s, he had the opportunity to be a contributing lyricist for StarSong Media, representatives of Twila Paris and Farrell and Farrell to name a few. It was Bob Farrell who came to his house, listened to some of his music and thought his lyrics especially showed promise. He gave a handful of them to John Chisum, the A&R representative at StarSong and between the two of them, especially John, they taught Jeff the craft of lyric writing. His time with them ended three years later when he was married. He continued writing with the skills he learned from them and the result is the catalog of songs at this site and his alternate music site : soundclick(dot)com/jeffleslie. You can also find his videos on YouTube,.

Jeff is now in his 60's and due to health issues, he is no longer able to perform live. He does, however, continue to write and record via computer music software.

'Friend Of A Sinner' and 'He Is There' have received recognition from The Song Of The Year contest. 'Crimson Rose' was a finalist in the 2019 contest and 'Shekinah' (written with Tim Akers) was a top 5 finalist in Christian/Inspirational category in 2020! He heartily gives all Glory to God!

A special thanks from Jeff goes to Jeff Conte, Glory Craig, and others for providing vocals lately since he is no longer able to sing. They also are his collaborators, along with Dale King and Victor Talhadas, when he needs music for my lyrics. Their names are written beside the titles they contribute to.

Thanks for listening.
