Leonardo on SoundBetter

The orchestra you've always dreamed of

Hi, I'm Leonardo, based in Paris.

I've joined the French Conservatory of Music at the age of 5 to play the saxophone, and ended up falling in love with strings.

I'm now a composer/multi-instrumentalists that specializes in string arrangement/composition, whether it's for sync purposes or to add that final touch on your song.

My unique approach and process as a composer allows me to quickly record your ideas and turn them into a modern professional sounding piece, from single violins to a full orchestra, depending on your needs and project !

I can compose, arrange and record ideas based on your thoughts, or on an actual musical score that you have.

I usually deliver in less than 24 hours, pre-mixed stems (dry and wet) so that you can adapt it to your song + a fully mixed master.

No worries about revisions, I won't stop until you're 100% happy with what I deliver.

Hit me up with the "Contact Button" so that we can discuss your project ! :) Always happy to work on some cool music projects and find an arrangement (no pun intended)

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

    I knew Leo for his singing and composition skills but I’m once again impressed by his capabilities. Asked for an epic orchestra piece, got an epic orchestra piece. He’s the real deal and I will work with him in the future for sure.

    Umbelievable, I don’t know how Leo delivers his work so fast and with such quality (hopefully he’s not holding a string quator in hostage), but just wow. He never stopped until I was 110% happy with what I asked. I just sent a voice memo and less than 24h later I had a fully professional recording of strings playing my idea. Literal chills. Happy new year and I’m looking forward to work with you.
