"Secrets" revealed, who better for the job than "Discreet" Da Chosen 1" Discreet Da Chosen 1 (aka Leeland Askew) was born a natural entertainer, so it was no surprise when he took to hip hop and strived to become one of Canada’s most respected faces in the hip hop community. He has drawn considerable media attention for his performances alongside some of today’s most influential acts such as T.Pain, Tyga, The Game and Redman. Discreet depicts his co-hosting role and music composing capabilities in the hit tv show U = US, with special guest appearances on MTV Canada, City TV and Urban Rush. Involved in several youth outreach programs and being a humanitarian at heart, Leeland has continued to explore other avenues of incorporating music into his personal values and beliefs. He was selected by Health Canada to create and produce a song that focuses on suicide awareness among today’s youth; to later cameo in their documentary. His diverse background has groomed him to become a rare combination of multi-talented artist and an uncompromising social activist. Discreet uses his diverse background as an Aboriginal/African-Canadian to bring a diverse perspective to the Hip-Hop scene. His music is motivational and is written without the mentioning of drugs and violence. Refreshing by industry standards, Discreet welcomes the challenge of crafting each lyric without a single utterance of profanity to create a sound that is extremely creative and respected. Discreet Da Chosen 1 has continued to educate himself in music through recording, producing and within the opening and growth of his own recording studio Knownwell Product-shuns. 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 and an advanced education with a strong work ethic. He graduated from Capilano University Film School and since then, his business ventures have flourished with his CEO position at Knownwell Product-shuns. He has performed for the NAACP (National Association Advancement of Coloured People) and numerous peace rallies. He takes time out of his hectic schedule to educate youth on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. He believes that music should be as much about action as it is about words and lyrics. He’s actively involved in being a strong leader in his community and sits as a Head of Board on Squamish Nation Youth Council; and will be running for Chief and Council next term. Discreet has just released his 6th album entitled "Secrets" by Discreet", now available on iTunes.
