I have re-edited the article, and removed anything that seemed promotional or non-biographical. This is ancient history and it is not practical to find sourcing for everything. This was my career, I have recited the information as accurately as possible. I am replacing a page about myself which was written by some random person ten years ago. I actually got some of it from discographies etc from other sites. If there is something specific that is objected to, let me know, otherwise, please leave this latest edit as is. Thank you.

Leslie Howe is a Canadian, from Ottawa Canada. His early career as a musician, songwriter and record producer started in the 1980’s with the pop duo One to One. As one of the halves of the synth pop duo with singer/songwriter Louise Reny, Leslie produced, engineered, co-wrote and played all the instruments on their first album “Forward Your Emotions”. The group was signed by Warner Bros. for the USA and Canada, and by Bonaire/Arista records in the rest of the world, and took the Canadian charts by storm. They had three successful singles - "There Was A Time", "Angel In My Pocket" and "Black On White" before returning back to the studio to work on the album's follow-up. The act scored three Juno Award nominations in 1986 for 'Most Promising Group of the Year', 'Producer of the Year (Leslie Howe)', and 'Recording Engineer of the Year' (Leslie Howe).
The next album, entitled '1-2-1', repeated their initial success with the more guitar driven songs like the chart successful "Hold Me Now" and "Do You Believe".
With their two album deal finished, One 2 One scored a major USA and Canadian record deal with A & M Records with 1992's 'Imagine It', along with the follow-up single, "Memory Lane". Leslie discovered Alanis Morissette in Ottawa around that time, and produced, engineered and co-wrote two very successful gold records with her in Canada.
By the mid-90's Reny and Howe formed a harder edges alternative rock band called Sal's Birdland who released the CD 'Naked Photos Inside' on Howe's own Ghetto Records. The band garnered some national interest on college radio which led to a second disc in 1995 with MCA/Cargo Records called 'So Very Happy' but had very minimal success.
In 1997 Sal's Birdland changed their name to Artificial Joy Club and joined with several Ottawa musicians to create the album “Melt”. The group was pursued by most of the major USA record labels, and they ended up scoring a huge record deal with Jimmy Iovine's Interscope Records label. The song "Sick And Beautiful" went to #1 in Canada (RPM Magazine) and top 20 in the USA. The band toured extensively in the USA, Canada and Europe, including the 1997 Lollapalooza tour. The follow-up single “Spaceman” also garnered a lot of airplay.

Since his music career, Leslie Howe has pioneered and patented many innovative, high performance, energy saving lenses and reflectors for commercial and residential lighting. With the unique application of micro optical film technology, he has developed ground breaking product lines of LED & fluorescent light fixture lenses and reflectors which include Retrofit and OEM downlight reflector trims such as www.bulbmate.com, frameless flat and curved lenses for linear recessed fixtures, optical film mounting systems, and high performance reflection surfaces.
Upon a good faith Google search, I found that some of the text copied other sources. However, upon further investigation, it appears to redirect back to this Wikipedia article. Also, @ Rtyrewx:, you must take caution as to understand to not remove categories. Tutelary ( talk) 00:02, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
I agree with Bearcat that as written the text is too overtly promotional to be an encyclopedia article. Part of the issue, additionally, is that much of the content is already covered at the other articles, One to One (band) and Artificial Joy Club. I've tried searching for sources. What I'm finding are newspaper and magazine articles that would better be suited as sources for the two band articles rather than this one. There is little biographical material I can find about Howe himself. That said, he is a very successful producer and musician, and I would imagine that a newspaper database that has better coverage of the 1980s would potentially have more about him specifically.

Just out of curiosity, [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat], why is an interview on TV with a person sufficient "sourcing" but a person is not allowed to self-source their own wikipedia article? Isn't the above conversation citable? You realize that you are censoring
Rtyrewx from providing the most reliable information about events from
Rtyrewx's own life? Is there some belief that TV cameras bring out truth that people can't provide themselves? How about you all prove
Rtyrewx is lying? The article as published sucks, there is more accurate information here. I'd be glad to return and read this later -Vic from Arizona, a defender of knowledge and free information exchange
