Leslie

Leslie was born on November 16th 1978 in a small town in the province of Lecce, a desolate place forgotten by everyone, but nevertheless rich of inspiration and simple emotions. It’s not easy living in a hole when you have a “square” head. Ever since he was small he wanted to express himself and everything that was going through his mind, but unfortunately he’s distracted by society’s weaknesses and by childish fantasies. Then at the age of 12 he met his first Music teacher who played the “synthesizer” and from there his dependency on the piano starts. He receives his diploma in Solfege then at one point BOOOOMM: Oliver Stone’s movie “THE DOORS” comes out. From here on it’s a continuous evolution of interest in all types keyboards, organs, synth’s but favouring vintage instruments. At first Leslie is interested in blues participating in the project “Red House Band”, the he starts to navigate in the universe of World Progressive Rock concentrating above all on Italian bands; that still today give him inspiration. He participates in projects like GRANMA, FONTI SONORE RINNOVABILI, THE MARSHMALLOWS (psychedelic wave), SMOKE ‘N’ ROLL and MORRISON HOTEL. His artistic growth carries on simultaneously with these experiences, starting to create his very own songs all by himself, with the help of software and collaborations with other musicians; it’s a very personal type of music that highlights his instinct and love of Progressive Rock and Vintage.
