AIDEN LESLIE
“It was not the direction I wanted to go in musically,” he admits. “Coming off ‘Love to Hate You’, so many opportunities were being offered and I was taken in by it all. Right away, I knew it was a mistake and I learned a hard lesson from it. A fat paycheck is nice, but it’s not worth losing your integrity and your voice.”
The release also coincided with the hardest loss Aiden Leslie has ever experienced in his life: the unexpected death of his older sister. “She was my only sibling and the primary care-taker for my parents, who were both ill.” Aiden returned home to take care of his parents, where he fell deeper into despair. “I lost the passion for my music. My mind and soul were vacant. I remember feeling so low, I didn’t think I would ever return to music, even though I knew it was the answer to finding myself again.”
Fate intervened. Aiden received a call from a producer, asking if he were available to work on a track. Seeing it as a sign and a way back to normal, he accepted the offer. “This time around, I said to myself, no matter what happens, I’m going to do this my way, with my vision. I didn’t care what came out of it as long as it was authentic to me.” "Worlds Away" is a song about life’s journey. Written by Aiden Leslie, it examines how people face struggle and the inevitability of change. It also reflects on the aftermath of struggle, reaching the light at the end of the tunnel and the realization of growth from adversity. The track has managed to resonate with Fans around the world as it has recently risen to the Number One position on Logo-TV’s Click List and has stayed there for a consecutive 4 week reign. Next up for Aiden is his highly anticipated follow-up to “Worlds Away” entitled “Trying to Leave Now” being released Summer 2011 on ASHEA Records.
“I’ve learned that in life there are hills to climb,” he says. “It’s how you manage the fall down and the climb up from the hills that is key.” “Life is bittersweet. We all have a purpose to find. I am grateful to have found my purpose in music. Being given a second chance to share it with the world is a gift.”
