Josiah Leming (born March 26, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for appearing in Season 7 of
American Idol, where he was cut during the Hollywood round of the auditions, just before the semifinals. His cut followed a subpar performance, but was considered somewhat controversial nonetheless. He is the only contestant in the history of American Idol to not make the 'Top 24' and land a major label record deal. Leming's debut album,
Come On Kid, from Warner Bros. came out September 13, 2010.
