Denis Chopin was born in St. Martin de Rè, France ( otherwise known as the Island from the film Papillon ) on 3rd November 1956. In 1968 Denis moved to London and after learning to play the oboe, Denis found a broken guitar in the dustbin. After repairing it he never put it down again. His devotion for music took him to Thurrock Technical College to study music to „A“ Level standard and beyond. Over the years Denis has played in most countries all over Europe and Africa, not forgetting the UK. After playing in clubs in England and Ireland with
various musicians including „Graham Dee“ and „The East Coast Blues Band“, Denis went
solo for a while. Denis‘s secret admiration for classical music led him to play Chamber – Music as part of a duet ( flute and guitar ) at private functions and during this time Denis also found time to give future Denis’s Guitar lessons.

As dancing was her main ambition in life Lesley joined ballett school at the age of 4 and had her first stage performance that same year. From then on she recieved acting and singing lessons. When Lesley was eleven her parents moved to Germany and she had to go too.
Interested in all forms of performing arts Lesley soon expanded her capabilities and saw a major breakthrough in the eighties while working as Background Vocalist in Studios in Europe. Lesley recorded with well known musicians such as The Chris de Burgh Live Band and has worked with some of the best Musicians Europe has to offer, including Mark and David Knopfler (Dire Straits), Errol Brown (Hot Chocolate), Jennifer Rush, The Fine Young Cannibals and Matt Bianco, to name but a few. It was on one of these occasions that a producer realised how talented she really was. As Sarah Jeen she soon became an established recording Artiste with Television and Radio appearances all over Europe including BFBS/ Germany. In the television show „ A Rose for Göteborg“ Lesley performed for King Karl Gustav and Queen Sylvia in Sweden. This Lady has a powerful voice and on returning to England, after many years on the continent, she is finally performing in her native land.
It was an ACT OF FATE when Lesley met Denis a few days after returning to England by, coincidentally, moving next door. Followed by ten months of extensive rehearsing, recording and composing, the story begins.........
