Deep tech Leo Franco is an artist whose absolute passion for music and drive for creative advancement resonates with each and every set he plays.
Growing up in Cali, Colombia, music, art and culture became an essential part of his life. Upon his arrival to Canada in 2008, Leo found himself intrigued by the variety of musical culture that thrived in Toronto. His interest for electronic music grew quickly, and at a very young age he immersed himself in listening to and acquiring as much music as possible. When he was 16, Leo started learning
how to DJ on Vinyl and it was then he knew what his true calling would be. Since then, Leo has focused his creative energy on producing music that best expresses his style, sound and personality. Leo’s minimal and deep tech productions still maintain a groovy, sexy sound with lots of energetic bass and idiosyncrasy. Toronto’s underground music scene has allowed Leo to grow amongst a number of extremely talented local natives. Gaining support from artists such as Nathan Barato, The Junkies, Ricky Syfer, and Chris Larsen it has been an incredible journey with a number of opportunities for Leo, thus far. Leo Franco has played alongside the likes of leading international artists Blond:ish, Damian Lazarus, The Junkies, Nathan Barato, and Nitin. He’s headlined one of Toronto’s most influential underground summer parties Cherry Beach, and played top venues such as Coda, Comfort Zone and The Guvernment.
2015 see’s great success for Leo, as he releases his first EP on Toronto based label All Blak and a number of other projects we all look forward to hearing.
