Heistheartist is an American Christian singer-songwriter from Central Islip, NY. Formerly a secular neo-soul singer signed to "Bentley Records" under his biological name "LeeMann Bassey," Heistheartist discovered that his true calling was with the Lord after hearing an inspiring sermon by TD Jakes online one day. That day he was inspired to teach the world about the Lord like TD Jakes did with his Sermon, but through music.
Heistheartist is the founder and CEO of two Christian labels (His Christian New Age Label "Signed Love The Artist" and his Christian Dance label "Holy Dance Music"). Both of his labels further his mission to spread the word of God throughout the world through music.
Heistheartist was a member of Grammy© U from 2012-2015 and graduated from Farmingdale State College in 2015 with a Bachelors Degree in Communications.
