About Leo

Leo grew up in a musical family with all 8 siblings able to play multiple instruments.  His love for music started when he heard his Mom play classical pieces on the piano.

He taught himself how to play the piano and applied that knowledge to the guitar.

He has played with numerous bands in and around the Ottawa area as a bass player/pianist, guitar and backup singer.  He's been playing in bands for over 30 years. 

 

Leo started a solo project in 2018.  He mainly plays covers of songs he particularly enjoys listening to.  However, he will do request(s).
