"Leon Jackson has revealed plans to move away from his jazz sound to more guitar-led music. The former X Factor winner told the Daily Record that he is happy to be working with &amp;quot;amazing&amp;quot; musicians, including Paolo Nutini co-writer Jim Duguid. Jackson said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been developing myself as a musician. I&amp;#039;m keen to show the transition and let everyone see that this is Leon Jackson now. &amp;quot;I am switching genres a bit and moving from old-fashioned jazz to the singer-songwriter I love.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I love to sing in a style that&amp;#039;s raw and bare. When I create a song on the guitar, it is honest and real. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t able to show these songs after winning X Factor because they were not well enough known.&amp;quot; Jackson was forced to cut back on the scale of his tour after he was dropped by his record label Sony.
