About Me



My name is Leo and I am a synth musician from London!

I play for London-based 'prog-pop' band Dogstand but, as a side-project, I also make my own solo recordings in my home studio. This page is home to any recordings I make. Some of them will also be available to buy through various online stores (my first single is still available on iTunes!).

I play, record and produce everything myself. Excuse my slightly haphazard guitar playing. It's not my strongest point, but I try to muddle through! ;)

Thanks for looking!

Oh, and if you should receive an add request from me, it will either be because I have found you through a similar band/band that I like, or have seen your profile and your musical tastes. I never use those automatic adder/spammer thingers!
