Life: Leo’s musical journey began at 16 in his parents' basement, where a simple introduction to GarageBand ignited an obsession with music creation. Driven by curiosity, Leo experimented across genres throughout high school, constantly challenging himself to understand the mechanics behind the music. His relentless passion eventually landed him in both Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra, where he played bass and performed at Massey Hall with his high school orchestra.
After high school, Leo transitioned into producing ambient, electronic hip-hop beats for local Toronto artists. While he received attention from artists globally, something was still missing. Seeking to refine his craft, he enrolled in Fanshawe’s Music Industry Arts Program, where he discovered his true calling in composition and sound design. There, he expanded his work beyond synthetic tones to include foley and hyper-realistic soundscapes, finally finding a place to showcase his full range of skills.
Upon graduating, film scoring naturally became Leo's focus, allowing him to fully explore his talent for creating immersive, narrative-driven soundscapes. This marked the beginning of his journey as a composer, crafting music and sound design that bring stories to life on screen
