About
Inspired by Canada's greatest folk, hard rock, and jazz icons, mixed with a personal love for the experimental, Leo has been developing robust style of play on guitar and bass since 2013, which established the 20-year-old as an undeniable force in the Atlantic music scene as a bassist, guitarist, and arranger.
Two-time Juno winner David Myles commented on Leo's 2024 JUNO performance stating; "I saw him play recently and was blown away. Leo plays lead (guitar) exactly how you'd want it to be played. Super exciting, dynamic, and, most importantly, always incredibly musical. I was seriously impressed. Leo's a weapon and I'm confident he's gonna do a ton of great stuff in the years to come."
