Musical Foundations

His musical journey began early: twelve years of drum studies and over eleven years of trumpet lessons at the conservatory, each concluded with top marks in his annual examinations, built him a solid technical foundation.

Leonardo has also been playing the piano for five years.

For over 5 years, Leonardo has been intensely involved in music production. He masters various software and techniques across a wide spectrum of genres and has successfully collaborated with artists such as Nelita to realize their artistic visions through his sound design and production.

Live Experience

Leonardo plays live music in venues like Jazzclub Karlsruhe and with various bands, switching between keys, drums, and trumpet across Rock, Pop, Jazz, and Funk projects. He also co-founded the "Véliz-Quintett", a formation of young jazz musicians from Karlsruhe, which performed at events like the HKA and the "Das Fest" pre-festival. A special recognition was the spontaneous invitation from renowned saxophonist Peter Lehel to participate as a trumpeter in the Big Band of the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Music College) for two concerts, including one in Baden-Baden.
