LEELAN FELL IN LOVE WITH JAZZ MUSIC. PLAYING THE DRUMS WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL WAS SOMETHING THAT HE LOOKED FORWARD TO DAILY. ALSO, HE'S BEEN PLAYING THE DRUMS FOR HIS GRANDFATHER'S CHURCH SINCE THE AGE OF SIX. HE'S NOW TWENTY YEARS OLD. IN HIGH SCHOOL HE DID A SOLO AT THE SAM HOUSTON STATE UNIVERSITY IN HUNTSVILLE TEXAS. THE CROWD WENT CRAZY WHEN LEELAN CAME IN FIRST PLACE AND WON THE BILL WATROUS AWARD. BRAZOSWOOD HIGH SCHOOL BROUGHT BACK THE TROPHY!
BILL WATROUS IS AN JAZZ AMERICAN TROMBONIST AND CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATS. LEELAN ADMIRED HIS TALENT.
