H.E.A.T frontman Kenny Leckremo never intended to be a singer. “I started out as a drummer and did that for the longest time,” he says. “It was basically the guys in my band who pushed me into singing.”

He’s made a decent fist of it since, hoisting the melodic rock flag high across four albums with the Swedish band, albeit with a 10-year hiatus in between.
