Howard Leese Biography

Howard Leese is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on June 13, 1951 in Hollywood, California, United States.

Howard received his inspiration to pick up the guitar during the 1960s after seeing Dick Dale, the guitarist in the surf band “the Del-Tones”, and feeling the excitement from his playing. He studied violin and music theory at the City College, Los Angeles, and also played in a band called The Zoo.

It was at Mushroom Studios in 1974 that Leese helped produce a demo for Heart. The next year, Mushroom Records signed Heart and released the group’s first album Dreamboat Annie which Flicker produced. Leese was assistant producer on the album, and was asked to join the band later that year. He played with the band until 1998, when the Wilson sisters put the band on hiatus for several years to pursue other projects and devote more time to their personal lives. Leese was Heart’s guitarist, backing vocalist, keyboard player (best known for playing the Mini-Moog solo on the hit song “Magic Man”) and song arranger. Aside from the Wilson sisters, Leese is the longest serving member of Heart. Even though he left on good terms with the Wilsons, Leese has been vocal about his dislike of more recent versions of Heart indicating in a 2007 interview that the then-current lineup “stinks”.
