Lester Franco is a singer/songwriter and performer of 

Mexican/Italian descent and currently based in London. 

 

His musical career began as a guitarist for Latin- American artists 

and performing in countries such as the US, Mexico, Ecuador & Cuba.

After studying music production in California and Italy, 

he then went on to become the Junior A&R for Warner Music Mexico & Latin America. 

At the same time, he founded his own entertainment company “Mad Grand” 

and he built his recording studio “The Hangout Studio”.

 

He went on to produce other artists and released his debut album 

as a solo artist; “The Legba Sessions”.

His follow up album  “Lowdowns, Whiskey & Live” 

was recorded during his first ever live show as Lester Franco. 

Something no artist has dared to do before.

 

His band Lester Franco & Her Majesty’s Secret Service performed 

several shows around Mexico and became the official act for 

Starbucks Mexico before he established in the UK.

Lester’s music is a mix of rock, pop, blues and jazz 

with a latin soul which makes his sound unique, nostalgic and powerful.

 

His live shows are an experience and every one is different from one another. 

Incorporating fire, aerial, contortion, burlesque and theatrics 

while playing either with an 11 piece band, a big band, or a 4 piece band, 

he has mastered the live stage and has caught the attention of the public 

as well as the press with his unusual shows and exotic performances.

​

Lester Franco is currently about to release his rock opera

“Mad Grand: El Show de la Gran Locura” 
as a musical film where he’ll be releasing songs

from his upcoming full-length studio album
and will resume his “Horses in Transit” tour in 2022.
