Twelve months ago nobody knew who Lee Mead was, except perhaps theatre go-ers who had seen him in Phantom of the Opera as an understudy, but after winning BBC's Any Dream Will Do he has been catapulted to stardom.His performances over a three month period secured him the public vote which landed him the role of Joseph in Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat in the West End.Lee is now a bona fide leading man appearing in eight shows a week in the heart of theatre land in London. But musical theatre aren't the only strings to this young man's bow as he is about to release his self entitled debut album.I caught up with Lee to discuss the BBC show, his new release and performing in the West End.

Very good interview. As one of Lee's international fans, it's always good to hear he's doing well. Won't be able to fly in to see Jospeh till next year, but till and after then, I wish him all the best!
