Meet Le Fil – multidisciplinary pop singer-songwriter, sculpture artist and performer for LGBTQ+ collective Sink The Pink
ABOUT LE FIL
Born and raised in Huddersfield, Le Fil was determined from the get-go that he was to join the magical world of art and performance. From his decision to study art of music at school (so that he’d be allowed to partake in singing lessons) to working in various musical theatre positions whenever he had the chance, Le Fil has always been dedicated to his vocation. After making the move to London in order to study ceramic arts at Camberwell College of Arts, Le Fil’s creativity flourished – and he discovered that he could fuse together his many artistic disciplines to create highly personal work exploring new ways of seeing and representing gender, sexuality and identity. This refreshing way of working has manifested itself in various forms, which he has named ‘Pop Sculpture’ – from his jaw-dropping live performance art to eye-catching body-sculpture, Le Fil has managed to find an incredibly successful niche. Now, between performing on club dancefloors and touring the world stages with Spice Girl Melanie C as part of the LGBTQ+ collective, Sink The Pink, Le Fil also creates his own feel-good pop music!
