SOLO ACOUSTIC SINGER SONGWRITER - DIVERSE ROOTSY PSYCH-FOLK
Before you ask, it's not a stage name! Leo Brazil has been writing and recording his own music since he was a child singing into a tape machine. As well as drawing on his love for classic pop, rock and roll and soul, Leo draws inspiration from animals with songs that connect personal emotions and experiences with stories from the natural world.
Establishing his own label as an umbrella for diverse projects, Leo works out of his home studio and is developing a unique and colourful evolution of sound that mixes acoustic, folk, rock and psychedelia. After well received first releases in 2024, some collaborations and previews from the forthcoming acoustic based solo record "Alone" - 2025 has started with the debut single from dinosaur themed psych-rock quartet Bone Wars described as "Forward-thinking, fresh and familiar" - The Big Takeover
​
Leo is a multi-instrumentalist and in the studio plays keyboards, drums and violin. Live he mostly sticks to guitars and banjo where he draws on his big repertoire of self penned songs, equally comfortable with low key acoustic ballads or foot stomping energetic numbers.
He has supported The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Son of Dave, Floral Image, Trip Westerns, The Blow Monkeys, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Chris Helme, Space, Miles Hunt, Romeo and Michele Stodart, Water Tower Band, Jake Vaadeland, The Blues Band, Seamus Fogerty, Liela Moss, The Rails, AK/DK, Scott Lavene, The Wave Pictures and many more...
