Hi, I'm Leo, a producer, composer and audio engineer based in Toronto, Canada. I help singers with writing and recording original songs.
I can help independent artists get their foot in the door with superb quality with:
Songwriting
Production (remote or in-person)
Studio recording
Session musicians
Mix & Mastering
Artwork/Visual identity mentoring
I will transform your demo / unfinished project / sketch into a professional, high-end sounding track.
I have been composing and producing singles, EPs and albums for over 10 years in genres such as Pop, R&B, Folk, Soul, Blues and Indie. I'm also an award-nominated musician and started my career as a guitarist 17 years ago and have been playing gigs and recording ever since, as well as being featured on national TV and radio shows and writing songs which were released by labels from multiple countries.
Please reach out using the contact form with links to your music and tell me about your ideas!
Our Values
Uniqueness
Each artist/client has different needs. Over 15 years in music combined with our small footprint allows us to be nimble and flexible when helping you achieve the perfect sound you want for your project by providing you with a custom suite of creative tools at our disposal.
The Whole
We believe the music is just part of a larger identity and artistry. We strive to deeply understand the artist’s or client’s background, visual identity, personality, and goals when daring to touch their music to provide the absolute best work we can do.
Transparency
We are not for everyone and we know it: wasting anyone’s time (especially yours) should be a crime. If we cannot do what you need or if we believe there are other studios, producers or engineers that are better suited to your project and more aligned with your vision and values, we will make that clear so you can quickly find the best solution for you. We believe in direct, honest, and timely communication; and we live for, ultimately, making good art.
