Leo

A gifted jazz vocalist, Leo (he/him) croons over syncopated bass lines, colorful keys, and hip hop beats with supreme ease. His cool, sophisticated musicality is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder and João Gilberto, not only in ingenuity but in his ability to convey complex ideas in deceptively palatable ways. This ability is more than a knack, it’s a means of survival. As an autistic trans man, Leo has to swim upstream, and his music is rife with Black American blues. Yet Leo perseveres, and his songs of love and everlasting comfort shine all the brighter.
