Discreet Da Chosen 1 (a.k.a. Leeland Askew) has drawn considerable media attention for his performances alongside some of today’s influential hip-hop acts—The Game and Chamillionaire,Bone Thugs Harmony, Raekwon,112,In Essence,Juelz Santana,Moka Only—and for his appearances on MTV Canada,CityTV, and Urban Rush .His diverse background has groomed him to become that rare combination of multi-talented artist and uncompromising social activist.
 


Discreet uses his diverse background as an Aboriginal African-Canadian to bring a unique worldview to the hip-hop scene. His trailblazing music is imbued with empowerment without the easy glorification of drugs and violence. He welcomes the challenge of crafting each lyric without a single utterance of profanity to create a sound that is awe-inspiringly creative.

His words onstage are what he lives by. Hailing from the Squamish Nation, Discreet takes pride in representing his people with dignity. He embraces the lifelong rewards of a healthy lifestyle, advanced education, and a strong work ethic. As evidence, one only has to look at his graduation from film school, his involvement with Knownwell Product-shuns. Also his C.E.O. position at Snake Eyes Entertainment , Discreet has gained critical acclaim for working with up and coming Native hip-hop acts such as Sunday School Dropouts and Rez Official. He has also performed for the NAACP and numerous peace rallies. And he takes time out of his hectic schedule to educate youth on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

Discreet has released two albums - his debut L.P., 'Gemini's Conflict' in 2007 and his latest L.P., 'Parcel Tongue' which was released last year. He is currently working on his 3rd album, 'Story Time with Discreet Da Chosen 1' to be released in the near future.
