Once again, Leo delivered exactly what I was looking for. This is my 4th time working with him, and we didn't even need edits for this latest track. He nailed it first try! He provided me with different takes that all have different styles and flavors, allowing me to mix and match where I see fit. A pleasure to work with, and I'll definitely be back for a 5th.

Leo did indeed provide a killer bassline! In fact, all the takes were superb in their slight differences, and I had an easy job comping together what I believe to be an epic sounding bassline for my song.
Leo is also super polite, patient and very communicative.
Highly recommended! - check_circleVerified

Leo is a fantastic Musician. Very committed to customer's satisfaction.
I enjoyed his tone and dexterity on bass.
I recommend him Its was very gratifying working with Leo!
Besides his extremely hability, he has what I consider the most important thing in a musician: the listening. He’s very kind and easy to comunicate with. I hope that we can continue this partnership on new projects!I have worked with Leo for about 03 years through my transition from Band to Solo project. He is pure talent! He's got the technique, the feeling, and the soul. Absolutely the BEST bass player I've ever worked with. He always created the greatest, most full of life, beautiful arrangements and executed them like no other. He is that kind of bass player you can recognize by the sound. It is a great honor to say that we worked together. A true talent with a bright musical future!

I definitely recommend him!Leo is an extremely talented musician and I am very lucky to have been able to play with him. Being a drummer myself, I can say it feels great to find a bassist who you can connect with and feel comfortable enough to let loose and improvise while knowing that he's gonna keep the groove reeeal tight. Highly recommend working with him, you will not be disappointed at all :)
Léo is an excellent bass player, I had the privilege of playing with him on several projects and there was never any problem. A very detailed and versatile musician, with an incredible sonority and swing

Leo é um baixista incrível e super responsável , recomendo demais!!!
One of the most groovin' bassists I had a chance to work with. Very particular swing, smooth and tasty sound. Definitely is someone everybody should get a chance to feature with.
Leo is a great bass player! Plays with both heart and excellent technique. As a professional musician, that allready had the opportunity to personally play along with him, I can certainly recommend him work as a bassist!
I've played with Leo for years and i can assure he is a great musician, and also very comitted. His musicality fits naturally in different musical contexts, according to the song and what it asks for. I recommend him!
Interview with Leo Cappi
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I don't remember myself before the music came into my life. I started studying piano at 5 years old, and electric bass at 9. It's what I'll do for the rest of my life, it's just the thing I love the most.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: In addition to being a studio musician, I work as a producer, arranger, and music teacher. However, lately the work I have done most is recording. I love it, the process of printing my music according to your demand is what moves me!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: At the moment, in addition to some freelances, I am acting as bassist and arranger for the album "Ainda atrás do pôr do sol", a re-recording and re-conception of the renowned album "Atrás do pôr do sol" by the Bahian singer and composer Lazzo Matumbi, a very important figure in affirmation and aesthetic construction of the black people of Bahia. The disc will feature important artists from the current Brazilian pop scene and should be released in early 2021.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I would advise you to feel free to do anything that makes you feel comfortable working remotely. I know that sometimes working at a distance brings insecurity and anxiety. I am here to bring the result you expect for your music, and also to make the process as pleasant and smooth as possible. In other words, you can send me as many messages, references or questions as needed to make you feel comfortable. I will be listening to you with great pleasure and attention.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I always try to start from what the music needs, to create a line that fits coherently with the whole. I can add a Brazilian or Latin flavor, always according to your taste and desire.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I try, before recording, to understand as much as possible what you want for your music. That done, I will send you as soon as possible the first version, adding my feeling. If the result is not what you expected, I will repeat this process as many times as necessary, always considering your feedback and any additional material as a reference, until reaching a result that satisfies your expectations
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I can provide a very mixed sound of Latin/Brazilian/African feel and the funky feel, i'd say that my bass style have a lot of influence of artists such as Richard Bona and Munir Hossn.That yould be my main sound. But i can also provide a lot of different sounds, i like to understand what you and your song want througt listen to your references and talking to you to get the best result as possible.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I love grooving. I am very familiar with different approaches to the slap technique, and I can adapt to any swing using these techniques. I am very fluent in the funk language, and in any genre of Brazilian or Latin music.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise to be 100% committed to getting the best possible result. I am very flexible in the number of reviews and very communicative, i think that is needed to know you minimally to know what your sound looks like, and how I can contribute with it
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I have worked with many musical styles, but Brazilian music has always been present in my professional life and in my heart. Currently I work on different projects of Brazilian pop / electronic music, always using regional elements of Brazilian music.
