History

Born in Brandon, Manitoba[2] and raised in Shilo,[1] Leskiw grew up with a father who was a jazz guitarist and who had toured Manitoba in the 1930s and 1940s.[3] Leskiw began playing the guitar at the age of 12, initially learning jazz standards and jazz chords from his father.[1][3] Through Leskiw's high school years he played in Winnipeg rock bands The Shags, Logan Avenue, and Wild Rice.[4] By 1969 Wild Rice dissolved, and in mid-1970 he joined The Guess Who, as he and guitarist Kurt Winter both replaced the departed Randy Bachman.[5] Leskiw wrote "One Divided"[6] which appeared on the 1971 Guess Who album So Long, Bannatyne. After a few albums with The Guess Who, Leskiw left the band in March 1972,[1] and then formed the band Mood jga jga.[3] In the late 1970s and early 1980s he was a member of Crowcuss and Kilowatt, both with another Guess Who alumnus, bassist Bill Wallace.[7] From 1986 to 1997, Leskiw operated Vox Pop Studios in Fort Garry, a popular recording studio for local Winnipeg groups such as Crash Test Dummies, New Meanies, and Mood jga jga.[3]
