Leon O’Leary is a singer-songwriter from a small village on the Suffolk Coast in England, home to the famous Latitude Festival, Folk East and Mavericks. He has grown up surrounded by these music events and the wildness of the Suffolk coast at his doorstep. The kind of environment that often helps to create and nurture the very best of British and Irish singers and songwriters, grounded by melodic truth and the beauty that surrounds them. Though only 15 years old, he writes and plays with the depth and passion of a much older soul, his celtic origins can clearly be heard in his music, giving an insight on his attempts to make sense of the world, and a young mans discovery of love and loss, with the influences of Foy Vance, David Gray and Ben Howard and Passenger resonating in his performances.
'it has been an amazing journey over the last couple of years and I have met some incredible people along the way. i have also had alot of support from family and friends, without them i wouldn't be enjoying and experiencing my dream. thank you everyone!' Leon x
