Lift Your Hands Towards The Sun

By David

Jared Leto is without a doubt one of my biggest inspirations.

The 43-year-old front man of Thirty Seconds to Mars never ceases to amaze me — singing commendably while leaping on stage with such agility. But what’s even more bewildering is his ability to create and release powerful emotions within himself and others!

Not only has his passionate and captivating performances won over the hearts of The Echelon (the fan base for 30 Seconds to Mars), but his mystical songs interpret such a divine meaning that it transcends our understanding, drawing us in an emotional trance. Of course there are other star qualities of Leto's that we are allured by, such as the fact that he is a freakishly handsome movie star and an occasional model. One thing is for sure, we are undeniably in awe of the marvel that is his ageless face!

At the age of twenty-one, Leto moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting and achieved an early success and worldwide recognition in just a few years later. Leto was twenty-seven years old when he founded 30 Seconds to Mars alongside his older brother Shannon Leto, and signed a contract with Immortal and Virgin.

When 30 Seconds to Mars first started, Leto refused to allow his name in the film industry to be used to promote the band. This act of letting their music speak for itself is outright respectable and very much endearing. Leto is truly a musician that aspiring artistes can definitely look up to.
