His love for music and his commitment to using it not only for entertainment, but also and most importantly to educate and empower young people and communities, has led him to not only a radical change in his musical genre and his
strategy, but also to the creation of a music label; Lionn Production in 2018 which serves as a platform to train young artists. The label in which evolved talents such as Kameni, and Gomez.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
Mr. Leo is passionate and a lover of love; reason why his songs have always had a strong love coloring.
This however never stops him from being committed and from passing on life messages through his
compositions made in English, French, Pidgin and Lamnso his mother tongue.
Starting from urban music, the artist defines his music today as AfroFusion; music based on African rhythms and melodies but merging with contemporary musical styles to create new grooves with mixture of Njang, Samba, Chong rhythms from the Northwest, merged with Blues, Soul, Hip Hop, Western classical
music, etc
It is in this spirit that the artist’s new album Lion of Africa (Jeéy) is conceived
