Here are my questions chris
Why do you like lying to other artists and pretending to be a journalist?
I’ve got all your e-mails and can prove that you’re a Psychotic Liar, who has nothing better to do than sleep on the Internet and harass other artists.
Get a Life and pray to God to make you a better healthy human being. You are absolutely mentally sick.
Buy some candles with whatever money you have, to keep warm the rest of your patheic life.
Finally, you don’t have to right tp print any interview with Leoncie.
Who rented your miserable services to harass Leoncie in the first place. Is there nobody in Amercia you can write about?
Do all Americans hate you? Be careful what you do. It will always boomerang on you.

Leoncie, I know it’s frustrating that your story hasn’t gone up yet—there are times that articles get put on the backburner and delayed, but I agree that this one is overdue. Seriously though, I have no reason to hurt you. I’m telling you, again, that I would never print a single untruth about you or alter any content. After all, the real story here is ICY SPICY LEONCIE. How would it get any more interesting than that?? Don’t worry, the delay isn’t connected to any of the reasons for which you left Iceland, nor some other conspiracy to sabotage your success; it’s just an opportunity for people to get to know the real Leoncie, the mastermind behind the most fucking amazing videos they’ve ever seen. And they’re gonna love you.
At this point, I think it’s best to just let your words do the talking by publishing your questions for me along with an unaltered copy of our original interview. The whole thing is getting published TODAY on Intothewoods.tv. We’re sure it’ll help you make a million new fans in America. Thanks, Leoncie. And go easier on me next time. Not everyone’s out to get you.
Chris
So, Leoncie. Tell us about who you are and what you do.
I am Icy Spicy Leoncie, a Catholic raised with strict discipline by caring, loving parents. I am a professional, singer-songwriter, musician, producer and a great entertainer who started my musical career very young, playing the organ in the Catholic Church in India. I have trained classically through the Trinity College of Music London, but I love doing my own brand of music called “Leoncie Music.” I create and perform the best songs anyone has ever heard, people tell me so, and I never listen to mainstream radio to keep that corrupt poison out of my head. Yes! I am even better than Paul McCartney. With his type of promotion I would be richer than him any day. I’m also a very caring and good human being and fantastic cook. I never eat in restaurants, but enjoy cooking the best of dishes at home. I enjoy a healthy lifestyle and I don’t want to look or sound like anyone else and I don’t.
You’re often labeled as Icelandic but in truth, you’ve lived in several countries around the world. What has brought on your moving around so much? Where are you originally from?
Always traveled a lot as a musician, even with my family band. I am from India even though I don’t look like like an Indian to some people, and I don’t care what anybody thinks about me!
Why did you move from Iceland to Britain?
Moved out of Iceland because of deeply rooted racism and discrimination in Iceland. What I’m talking about is Constitutional Racism of the worst kind where the majority of people like to watch a single person drown if they feel that person’s talent or ambition intimidates them.
One story goes that you were the first stripper Iceland ever saw before you went on to make original music. Your music is still invigorated by a healthy dose of libido. How do sexuality and music connect for you?
Iceland was loaded with prostitutes and strippers long before I was even born. They were selling themselves to American NATO Base soldiers for a cigarette and chewing gum.
I’ve heard that Youtube has censored a video in which you appeared topless. What are your thoughts on this censorship of your art and body?
No! That’s just Icelandic negative propaganda on Youtube. There are no Topless videos of me anywhere, unless they have been doctored by the Icelandic music racists! The music video we are talking about is called “Radio Rapist”. It’s a great music video and you can see it on myspace.com/icyspicyleoncie, It had the truth about my experiences in Iceland, so the Icelandic bums decided to flag it on Youtube because the truth gave them nightmares and they did not want the world to see the terrible people they truly are.
The voyeuristic quality of your lyrics and videos is enhanced by the many costumes you’re known for wearing. Barbarian, nun, cop, cavewoman, Barbarella-style disco queen… Have you always been fond of dressing up? What is it about assuming these roles that you enjoy so much?
I just enjoy being fresh and different.
Your music has a playful energy and karaoke night vibe to it. What musicians/vocalists have inspired you to do what you do?
God and my prayers inspire me, not human beings. The sounds of the Earth do so as well.
Have you been a part of any other musical projects?
Had a title song in a Czech film called Story From Brooklyn . The co-writer was Czech and he is very talented! Musical projects in Iceland are only for white Icelanders. Being Asian/Eurasian, I was left out of every music related as always in Iceland.
Wild American Sheriff explores themes of mind and body health, including yoga, cholesterol, and the unfortunate side effects of doctor-prescribed medication. What triggered this concern in you?
Wild American Sheriff is a fantastic album. I just couldn’t sleep until this album became a reality for me. I love this Wild American Sheriff. I was watching some films made by Larry Levinson and Robert Halmi Jr. called Love Comes Softly etc, etc, that I was so inspired to compose and perform this song. “Vegetarian! No Cholesterol Ho!” is really about doctor-prescribed medication. Some of the doctors don’t really give a damn whether it is right or wrong for the person, as long as the pharmaceutical companies make billions out of it, including the doctors who get a big cut out of it. Can we really trust our doctors when profits are involved?
You’ve alluded to belief in the “Supreme Force beyond the superconscious mind.” Can you talk more about your spirituality?
Hey I believe in God who is Supreme! I trust in God, I always have. That’s where all my strength and inspiration comes from. I don’t care what anybody else thinks or for anyone else’s opinions.
What can we expect next from Leoncie? A new record? Will you ever tour in America?
Definitely! A new record. I want to tour in America, but I want the best concert organizer in America to do it for me.
Songs like “Killer in the Park” have a twisted sense of humor. Is there a dark side to you that you care to speak of?
“Killer in the Park” is about what happens in the UK when maniacs jump out of the trees and kill innocent people who are simply walking by. It’s about what happens in England.
Your music is imbued with a unique sense of humor. What makes you laugh in real life?
Every day above ground is a very successful day.
Your videos are fantastic, and impossible to look away from. What is your creative process like for these? Any stories from the set?
I create a great script for all of my music videos, and that’s because I created fantastic lyrics and short exciting films.
Any parting words?
Leoncie’s music is not just a fling. It’s a life long Love Affair. A great hello to all of my American fans, hope to see them soon. God bless the USA!
After reading Leoncie’s response to my interview, I was awestruck and a little confused, so I decided to e-mail her back and ask if she was concerned that Icelanders would interpret her statements as racist. Leoncie replied as follows:
Hello
I forgot to tell you one more very important thing. Those people whose names you know and mentioned in the first questions you sent me in youtube inbox are Icelandic Government supported windbags. That retard [referring to Bjork] cannot produce anything on her own without hundreds of people to support her Lame Act. Millions of Icelandic tax payers money
You wrote to me yesterday that I have even been compared to that Icelandic retard. No Please! STOP right there. No sensible real journalist or real reporters would print such fiction about me. Leoncie is a Genius. Fingers fly on any musical instrument. What have icelandic music retards proved? Just noise and Nepotism and racist conspiracys. YES! Awards being bought in USA ,UK, etc etc. Inspired of all the bribing and the Cheating there is no ABBA in Iceland yet. Fake Superstars is all that iceland has to boast about.
A: Not at all. They know they are racist because I have ample proof of what I suffered at the hands of the racist corrupt Icelandic government when I lived there, just because I was One Little Indian with high ambitions. All the Cd’s/Albums that I have released, have been at my own cost. All my music videos I have paid for myself. All my travels and clothes Expenses, I have looked after myself. The icelandic racist government has never supported me with a single kroner or dollar like they have supported their useless, talentless white windbags. i also have many fans in Iceland for that reason alone, because I am the ONLY Independant Musician Singer Songwriter in Iceland who has gone it alone without any help from the Ku Klux Klan and everyone knows it.
You know Mister, most of the crap that people read on google about me is also Icelandic Racist and Government promoted Propaganda. I was called to do some concerts in London last year. To my amazement, the places were house full and crowds outside the venues. This too, without any promotion except that fact that many people saw my music videos on the Internet and loved my lyrics. MAN LETS HAVE FUN and SEX CRAZY COP were the songs that drove people crazy. Everyone was singing the lyrics and I was happily shocked.
Finally the icelandic embassy in London is also busily involved in promoting more of their useless white windbags. They don’t want to know me, because they know that people will see those scumbags for what they truly are. Amateurs and even less than that. The world does not reject Indians because they are Talented, Qualified, Ambitious, Indians, but Iceland did that to me.
That’s My Story
