Composer, bass player, improviser and teacher.

The attitude towards experimentation and artistic research, lead him to probe different unconventional music, since the early years.

Free improvisation, interplay, electronic/acoustic blends, polyrhythmic explorations, cross-disciplinary relationships between music, nature and mathematics are common features of his music (both in personal projects and as a session man).

Born in Alessandria (Italy) the 16th of August 1992 and raised in family of musicians, Leonardo approaches violin as child, and bass guitar later. During his academic formation, he has chance to study with great Italian artists, like Riccardo Fioravanti, Enrico Fazio, Paolino Dalla Porta, Umberto Petrin, Achille Succi, Roberto Cecchetto, Luigi Martinale, Giovanni Ceccarelli, Massimo Morganti, Pino Russo; he also attends masterclasses held by Linda Oh, Ben Wendel, Dominique Di Piazza, Fabian Almazan e Julien Debois. Leonardo gains his bachelor degree in 2016, presenting his thesis Kaleidophone e Thesaurus: la presenza di Schillinger e Slonimsky nella musica Jazz. Driven by a strong curiosity about natural world, he graduated in Biology in 2018 and, finally in 2020 he gets the Master Degree as well with his work Cross-Rhythms: elementi ritmici ciclici nel jazz contemporaneo. All these researches form the basis on which his

artistic exploration sprouts, leading to join, in 2022, the Master Program AreMus in Conservatory Santa Cecilia (Rome).
