Tiger Le

Leah Deacon, (aka Tiger Le), is a British rapper, singer-songwriter and producer. Born and bred in Birmingham, with a British mother and Jamaican father. In 2019, Tiger Le featured alongside Bomma B on Butterflies which she also co-produced with Tom Brookhouse. Tiger Le wrote her first song, Butterflies, at the age of 14, about her first crush at secondary school. Years later, she then laid down a track with a garage vibe and felt that her lyrics to Butterflies fit perfectly.


She started medical school in September 2021 at the University of Nottingham. Furthermore, for her academic achievements, she received a Letisha and Charlene Education Award (the award scheme was set up in memory of murdered Birmingham teenagers Letisha Shakespeare and Charlene Ellis).


She is also a former beauty queen who came third place at the internationally renowned Miss Plus Size United Kingdom pageant in 2015.


She uses her public profile as an artist to bring more awareness to mental wellbeing and adversity. She lost her brother to suicide in 2018, his inquest was covered in the national press due to the negligence of the healthcare system, and she released Sins of My Father in 2020, which featured on the Hardest Bars’ Mixtape; to bring more attention to the issue through her songwriting.
