The talented pianist has been playing the piano since an early age and has also mastered other instruments along his professional journey. Born and raised in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, Leo now calls NYC home.  He is known for his adventurous experimental music and recently won a Grammy Award for “Best Improvised Jazz Solo”.
