Leechy hosts the Drive show every weekday between 4-8pm
The soul DJ was ranked 54th in the Essex Power 100 for 2019.
The annual list was published over the weekend, and saw Leechy ranked ahead of Love Island winner Dani Dyer, footballer Jamie O’Hara, and Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price.
John said: “I’m honoured to be recognised in the Essex list and it’s pleasing that what I’ve done over many years in Essex continues to influence, inspire and entertain.
“I guess my music makes me a real mover and shaker!”
Home secretary Priti Patel tops the list, followed by Lord Sugar, and the philanthropist Jack Petchey was third.
Also in the top 100 is Hornchurch teenager Jaden Ashman, who this year won close to £2 million at the Fortnite World Cup.
