R&B Artist Leigh Bush is reemerging himself to bring true R&B back. He's back with new music off of his EP The Leigh Bush Project and posing for the cover of BE Magazine. Leigh Bush formally known as Sammie, decided to change his name to show a more evolved and grown up side of Sammie. For those wondering about why the name Leigh Bush, it is his middle and last name completing his name Sammie Lee Bush Jr. And yes, call him Leigh Bush or LB now not Sammie.
Leigh Bush is no new face to the game, reaching major success as a child star with his first hit "I Like It" in 1999. LB has experienced it all in the music industry but has always remained true to himself and his fans. Last year, Leigh Bush dropped his mixtape Insomnia, taking people by storm showing that Sammie (at the time) is one of the best R&B artist out. His soulful melodies and sex appeal have always kept him winning with the ladies over the years. LB is an independent artist under is own label Star Camp.
BE Magazine hosted a private event in Atlanta this week for the introduction of Leigh Bush to the world and the unveiling of the newest cover of BE Magazine. The event was an intimate setting that included a performance from Leigh Bush followed by a Q&A. The humbled artist spoke about staying true to his craft and not wanting to make "twerk music" just for the radio. He believes that R&B is a dying genre that he wishes to be the one to bring it back. LB also shut down rumors that he's dating reality TV star Shay Johnson. Producer and songwriter Troy Taylor and R&B artist Jacob Latimore were amongst the attendees.
Leigh Bush's EP The Leigh Bush Project is now available for download on iTunes so go support it! He's by far one of the most genuine artist and people you'll ever meet and not to mention very handsome and talented. Check out more of FARRINHEIT 411's coverage from the event below:
