Brian Lee Harvey (born 8 August 1974) is an English musician and was the lead singer of pop band East 17. Harvey was born in Walthamstow, London ==Career== Harvey was initially slated to be a backup singer and dancer for East 17, but during the initial recording session he was heard singing along by the recording staff and was promptly instated as the lead singer of the band. Harvey's vocal style emulated R&B and new jack swing vocalists from the United States His vocals put him into a position of the band's frontman, or main member, which was shared with the band's creator, songwriter, instrumentalist, rapper and singer Tony Mortimer. Throughout the course of the band's career the two leads had many disagreements, from how to vocalise songs to their behaviour in public. This tore the band between spiritual pop/hip-hop (Mortimer's writing influence) and R&B (the other band members) which would eventually lead to Mortimer leaving the band and Harvey becoming the only lead singer. Harvey was sacked from the band after making comments in a radio interview that appeared to condone the use of the drug ecstasy. Mortimer left East 17 several months later. He eventually rejoined the band under the rebranded name of E-17. As E-17, the band had two UK Top 20 singles between 1998 to 1999 with the album ''Resurrection'' reaching the UK Top 50. In 2000, he collaborated with True Steppers with the song "True Step Tonight" featuring Donell Jones that reached no. 26 in the UK. After E-17, he signed a record deal with Edel Records and had two singles released in 2001, "Straight Up (No Bends)" (#26 UK) and "Loving You (Ole Ole Ole)" (#20 UK). In 2004, he appeared on the ITV1 programme ''I'm a Celebrity...Get Me of Here!'' in Australia but left as his grandmother died when he was travelling to appear on the show. On 17 March 2007, Harvey performed a song entitled "I Can" for ''Making Your Mind Up'', the UK's national final for the Eurovision Song Contest. The song was written by singer Conner Reeves. Harvey was eliminated after the first round of voting and the eventual winners were Scooch.〔(Brian-harvey.net )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Harvey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
