Bio

Born May 10, 1978 in the capital city of Venezuela, Caracas. Leandro is one of seven children with six sisters within the United States and Venezuela. Music is the driving force in his life. From casual conversation to living the dream, music is the focal point for Leandro. Music has captured his heart, soul, passion, imagination and dreams throughout all of his life starting when he was five years old. From a very young age, Leandros flair for performing was obvious. He was an entertainer at heart and this passion spanned school productions in theater and music. He was often involved with musical presentations with his sisters creating a family presence and vocal talents. When he was 18, his vocal talent caught the attention of a Caracas local boy band and he was offered the lead vocal position in band. This provided him wonderful opportunities to perform in front of larger and more diverse audiences then previous performances. These performances ranged from birthday parties to street fairs and local malls. After two years, Leandro decided to follow his dream to perform English songs. He began writing his own songs and performing them at every possible opportunity. However, in Venezuela, performing English songs was not a common occurrence and Leandro followed his dream to the United States. With his dream, as with any dream, came challenges. Leandro focused on becoming successful and attended English classes for language and diction. He began following up on opportunities to perform in various competitions ranging from local Karaoke style to American Idol and Java Cats Live. Regardless of the outcome, Leandro learned from each opportunity and continued to grow and develop. In recent months, Leandro was asked to provide the soundtrack for a locally produced short film, A Knight Time Story - http://www.aktsfilm.com/music.html. Leandro continues to expand his experience with the local church, local and national singing competitions, and enjoys the Karaoke scene. In future months, expect to see much more of Leandro across the nation in various competitions, productions, and concerts.
