Affecting Change Through Music & Ministry

About Me

Leo Laredo truly believes that music can change the world. Through true-to-life lyrics and captivating stage presence, he invites listeners to join his spiritual journey through song.His message is simple: Never squander the opportunity to give or to accept love. His powerful and significant message is clearly illustrated in his soulful song, "I Got Love" with conviction and passion so lyrical his words strike us more as a gift than a message. Leo Laredo brings a refreshing, unique quality to his music by skillfully, and yet naturally, crafting songs that tell us the story of his life and simultaneously the story of our own through songs that seem like personal conversations with his listeners.Through his music and his voice, Leo takes us on a journey of discovery that taps our vulnerability, sparks our inspiration and compels us to acknowledge God's presence in our lives. His songs are chockfull of powerful lyrics that invite us to explore our passion for positive change in a world that often seems overwhelming and confusing. His message resonates with such clarity-listener's say "you can't help but replay them in your head, long after you've listened to them just once.""Leo brings a balance of his own music and contemporary praise and worship. He has a way of connecting with students on and off the stage. The students are ready for him to come back and play again", said Michael Smith, Student Minister, Community Baptist Church.Leo's songs are memorable and contemporary, yet contain a timeless and traditional quality. Leo Laredo's greatest talent is in delivering an insightful spiritual message that is thought provoking and enlightening, yet comes across as pure entertainment.For booking information please contact Leo Laredo at 832-883-9535 or visit www.leolaredo.com to hear more of his music.
