One eskimO

One eskimO was ?born' in 2004 and is the brain child of Kristian Leontiou. At the time Kristian was at the end of promoting his debut album: Some Day Soon (Polydor) which sold over 200,000 copies. His debut single (Story Of My Life) also went Top 10 in the UK singles chart. Kris (as he is known to his friends) grew up in the north-west suburbs of London, his first experiences of music coming from his older sisters...

In 2007 Martin was ?lost in a snowstorm' which in reality translates to Mika (who he also played guitar for) shooting to fame. He was promptly replaced by the exceptionally gifted guitarist Pete Rinaldi and what felt like a loss became a huge win ?Pete makes us complete' says Kris. Through a series of 'happy accidents" Kristian met Nathan Erasmus who had just formed Gravy Media, quite literally an ?independent company' operating from people's bedrooms and lounges. Gravy Media was formed with Erasmus's childhood friend Phil Menni, together and from an early age they both shared an obsessive love for illustration and animation. It was Nathan's shared love of the eskimO sound that inspired the intricate visual voyages of family, innocence and magic that became the first One eskimO video. It sits alongside the stunning single ?Hometime'
