French reggae artist. Musician, singer songwriter, and beat maker. Leo Banton sings in English and in French. His first album Carpe Diem was released in February 2018.

In 1990 The band began its life as a three piece hard rock / heavy metal band known as IGNITE. They worked hard on the local scene and supported acts such as The Party Boys and Mortification.  In 1995 an American punk band of the same name ÏGNITE" toured Australia and with major label backing the local band didn't have a chance. The clash and confusion of the names became a major hurdle of which the Australian band buckled under the pressure. The original line up was no longer able to maintain momentum and was to see a change of line up.
The new line up worked for  a short period as IGNITE but evolved into the 1st line up under the new name of DRAXSEN.  DRAXSEN was now a 4 piece and moved onto a heavier and darker shade of Hard Rock / Heavy Metal.
It was during the new faze under the name of DRAXSEN, was to see the band to collapse as the lead singer bassist Legion was involved in a serious accident leaving him with a permanent spinal injury.
Fast forward to 2010 and Legion revived the band with S.D.Harris and Trommeslag. Chronic Pain was released and the recovery of Legion was taking place using the medium of music.  
The band has been stable in the following years and have released 6 more albums Where The Darkness Screams, Vicious Felony, %100 Pain,
Forbidden Passions , Terrortory and The Black Dog. The last release of DRAXSEN was the "EP" Portrait
The new line up that works under the artist name of Mournful Lust is as follows:-
Andrew Cornale (Guitar)
Ben Mounsey (Lead Guitar)
Zac Garland (Drums)
Legion Draxsen (Bass and Vocals)



John started singing at the tender age of 4, a gospel song his father had written and taught him to perform in church. He started off learning to play music on an old Hammond Organ then upgrading to the piano. Shortly after John learned to read and write he began a passion for writing stories and poems before transposing his writing abilities into his music. During his teenage years out of frustration of not being able to lug his piano around everywhere he went he bought a cheap guitar and started pickin'. It didn't take long for John to find a niche in writing country music, he recalls it came "as natural as sweet tea on a hot day." After playing keyboard and guitar for multiple bands in Virginia for country, rock, hip hop and gospel artist he began to find his own niche in writing a different variation of country music with rock, funk and hip hop influences better known today as country hick-hop. Although these songs set on a shelf as at the time they were not accepted in the local country venues a trip to Nashville on his birthday, as a gift from his fiance, would change his life forever; so launching the beginning of a career in music as a country music hick-hop singer/songwriter. Over the years even as a carpenter and father John has always made time to pursue his love and passion to play music appearing in multiple television programs, local and national, for his musical talent, writing and sitting in as a studio musician. As a songwriter and performer John believes in delivering the message of a story or an event in ones life to touch another life. Good or bad, funny or serious connecting with an audience and sharing those stories together is what makes the power of music so important in all of our lives.

"I hope that my songs and music can touch you the way it has touched me and my story be an inspiration to anyone that has ever had a dream despite any adversities of never giving up and holding onto your dream til you see it come true". -John Samson

Tommy Blue is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and globetrotter. In various sessions worldwide he performs from an Adele Cover to own blues ballades crossover music, touching your hearts: e.g. Blue Monday in Ithaca / New York (2010), singer / songwriter debut in Vancouver / Canada (2011), Open Mics in Beijing / China (2012), in Long Iceland / USA (2015), in Berlin (2016) and course in Hamburg (sometimes weekly) in one of the many clubs.
There he finds the musicians to realize his music projects as "Tommy Blue's Friends". The goal for CD projects was to bring original high quality music in the world and on stage with different musicians without much rehearsal. The basis for this is a rich song repertoire that Tommy has created since the seventies until today with a lot of love and creativity.
The CD "Rocket Science" was produced in the first half 2013. "Rocket Science" is a song trilogy about working and living in an environment conducting fundamental physics research. This covers corporative aspects "Rocket Science", computer services "3rd Level SysAdmin" and personal experiences "I'Man". All songs are presented in a fresh mixture of country blues with rocking elements and a touch of humor.
The production of the CD "Blue # 2" was launched in late 2013 in a studio in Ann Arbor / Michigan. The album "Blue # 2" is pure blues. The songs tell stories of life and death, of love and pain. The music of seventeen musicians from Hamburg and the world is shaped by Tommy for a personal expression of authentic blues music. It is a rich mixture of styles of different musicians associated with special vocal parts that maybe write rock and blues history. In the spring of 2016 there was a big release concert on the Treibsand-Festival Lübeck.
The live performances of Tommy Blue's Friends bring new grooves and fresh air into the blues: The Blues is still alive!

Tommy Blue ist Sänger, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist und Weltenbummler. Auf verschiedenen Sessions weltweit gibt es vom Adele Cover bis zur eigenen Bluesballade Crossover-Musik, die ans Herz geht: z.B. Blue Monday in Ithaca / New York (2010), Singer/Songwriter Debut in Vancouver / Canada (2011), Open Mics in Peking / China (2012), in Long Island / USA (2015), in Berlin (2016) und natürlich in Hamburg (manchmal wöchentlich) in einem der vielen Clubs. Von dort kommen auch die Musiker, mit denen er als "Tommy Blue's Friends" seine Musik-Projekte realisiert. Das Ziel für die CD-Projekte war mit unterschiedlichen Musikern ohne viel Übungsraum eigene Musik in hoher Qualität in die Welt und auf die Bühnen zu bringen. Die Basis dafür ist ein reiches Song-Repertoire, das Tommy seit den siebziger Jahren bis heute mit viel Liebe und Kreativität geschaffen hat. Die CD „Rocket Science“ wurde im ersten Halbjahr 2013 produziert. „Rocket Science“ ist eine Song-Trilogie über das Leben und Arbeiten als "Raketen-Wissenschaftler". Es gibt musikalische Einblicke in einen weltweit organisierten EDV-Support für die Grundlagenforschung Physik. Eingepackt in Blues-Rock mit einer Prise Country erlebt man Forschung "Rocket Science", Support "3rd Level SysAdmin" und Persönliches "I'Man" aus einer locker kreativen Sicht.
Die Produktion der CD „Blue #2“ startete Ende 2013 in einem Studio in Ann Arbor / Michigan. Das Album “Blue #2” ist reiner Blues. Die Songs erzählen Geschichten vom Leben und Tod, von Liebe und Schmerz. Die Musik von siebzehn Musikern aus Hamburg und der Welt wird von Tommy zu einem persönlichen Ausdruck von authentischer Bluesmusik geformt. Es ist eine reiche Mischung der Styles der unterschiedlichen Musiker verbunden mit speziellen Gesangsteilen, die vielleicht noch Rock- und Bluesgeschichte schreiben werden. Im Frühjahr 2016 gab es ein großes Release-Konzert auf dem Lübecker Treibsand-Festival.
Auch live liefern Tommy Blue’s Friends gut ab und bringen neuen Groove und frischen Wind in den Blues: Der Blues lebt!
