Biography
Heshima Thompson is a British actor and singer born on 23 October 1986 in the London Borough of Brent. Son of reggae legend Dr Alimantado and brother of soul singer Zalon, Thompson entered entertainment through music and acting simultaneously.
He began his career in 2001 after being scouted from a BBC documentary Heart of Harlesden to play a lead role in BBC's Babyfather. His television credits include appearances in Spooks, Spooks: Code 9 (as Jez), Prime Suspect, Casualty, City Lights, and Judge John Deed, plus a role as Asher Levi in EastEnders: E20 series 2. He has also performed in theatre at The Young Vic (Generations) and the Royal Court Theatre (Incomplete and Random Acts of Violence).
Thompson's most significant work came through his collaboration with Amy Winehouse: he toured on her Back to Black album, a three-month commitment that expanded into six years, during which the tour collected five Grammy Awards. He later contributed vocal production and performance to Winehouse's posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart; he worked on singles including "Our Day Will Come" and "Like Smoke" (featuring Nas) alongside his brother Zalon, Salaam Remi, and Mark Ronson.
Thompson has pursued competition platforms: he auditioned for The X Factor in 2009 and 2011, and competed on The Voice UK in 2012, receiving four chair turns before selecting will.i.am as his coach and advancing to the battle rounds. He was nominated for a Screen Nation Award in the Young Shooting Star category in 2009. In 2014, he founded HTG Entertainment, a British entertainment agency.
