From an early age, music has been important in Leo's life. As a child, he began studying Piano, followed by Drum lessons in his adolescence. In theory and practice, he obtained top qualifications, and was recognized with diplomas and medals.

His taste towards electronic music started in the late 90's when bought his first mixed CD compilations from Sasha, Hernn Cattaneo, Deep Dish, Paul Oakenfold & Brooklyn Bounce.

In the beginning of 2003, his curiosity towards dj'ing grew and he decided to join an electronic music school in Buenos Aires. During this time, an already established local artist named Fernando Romano was a great help in showing Leo how to perfect his skills as a dj. He played at important places and events like: Pacha, Pampulha Iate Clube, El Divino, Caix, Envy, 206 Creamfields, Expo BoomA, with sponsorship brands as Heineken, Red Bull, Fibertel, Topline, URBE Bikini Mag and also represented Sonica several times.

Happy music seems to be the concept; groovie bass-lines accompanied by harmonic melodies in his track selection and a fine mixing technique make him stand out among others in South America. His unique style makes it hard to classify his sound into just one category, as he blends many different sub-genre's of House music... Funky Progressive, Disco Tech, Minimal Electro, or however you want to call it!

His influences over the years as well as today are Luke Fair, Can Costa, S.O.S, Danny Howells, Mylo, Lee Burridge, Sander Kleinenberg & Timo Maas.

He has been supported by world-class artists such as Jody Wisternoff (Way Out West), Chris Salt, Add2Basket, Neil Quigley, Chloe Harris, Roman Rai, Tom Morgan, Matt Tolfrey, Helen K, Brent Toepper, Marz Faram and many others. Besides, he was charted by Sultan (Yoshitoshi/Tao), Lifeform (Link/Droog), Andrew Pacey (Believe/Gorg-O-Mish) & DJ Firuz (Sikamikanico Club, Oslo)

At the moment, this young and vibrant artist spends his time making edits, producing his own tracks and promoting himself in local and global radios, such as Proton, Frisky, Just Music Fm, ETN, Mercury Sessions, Di.Fm, Club 246, Dance-Fm, X4 104.3 Fm, KSK 101.9 Fm, Doble Nueve, ADN Alternative & DLA.
