Credits with Mark Ronson, Jon Hopkins, Brian Eno and many more. Guitar, but not as we know it. From pristine sonic landscapes, through intricately crafted parts, to utter filth. Everything I send you will serve the song - it won't just be sonic splurge. Unless sonic splurge is what you want.
I love playing guitar for people and contributing to their music. I'll bring unique sounds, and a producer's ear for arrangement and hooks. I made the Enigma sample libraries for Spitfire Audio, and now I'm excited to take a bespoke approach.
I'm equally happy taking specific instructions (including sheet music), abstract ones (someone once told me to play as if I'd been cycling uphill in the verse and downhill in the chorus), or no instructions at all. I can send a variety of approaches for you to choose from, which I can then develop further.
I always think about what works in the context of the song or piece of music - both in terms of musical content and texture. But first takes often have a specific energy, so I usually record my gut reaction before getting too analytical!
After studying composition at the Royal Academy I joined Imogen Heap's band. Over a 22-year career I've featured on over 350 releases by artists including Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins, Grace Jones, Mark Ronson, Paul Simon, Adele and Florence & The Machine, and on film scores such as Oceans 8, Twilight and The Lovely Bones.
DJing is not my skill but I've posted a montage of clips from various releases. Aside from the obvious, all the synth-y sounds are guitar too.
I'll be happy to help you however I can.
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Another great experience with Leo! If you're reading reviews, stop and just send him a message! You won't be disappointed.

Leo paints soundscapes with his instrument. A true master. Thank you.
- check_circleVerified
I cant stop coming back to Leo for guitar's. Every time i do i'm happy. It's what he come's up with that's so brilliant. The texture's, the sounds, the emotion it provoke's and the tone's are just perfect. And the best thing of all, is that it slot's straight into your mix with no plugin's required. Awesome!
- check_circleVerified
As always, truly beautiful guitars! Thank you Leo.

Repeat client here!!! Leo did an amazing job with his guitars once more. I definitely would recommend him for any project you may have. He's very versatile and a very emotional player. His technical skills are also top notch. Look no further.
- check_circleVerified
Just released a new single featuring Leo, and at the tip of the tongues of nearly everyone I’ve heard back from is how much they love the guitar playing. I’m of the opinion that Leo is in the top tier of players on the planet currently—it’s rare to cross paths with a musician with such a mix of professionalism & expressiveness/masterliness that makes the whole recording process such a joy to do, highly recommended!
- check_circleVerified
This is my second song that Leo has played on, and his guitars brought a depth and dimension to the song that is hard to articulate. He is a sheer genius, and it's a privilege to work with him.
- check_circleVerified
Leo is an amazing musician and artist! He quickly adapts to abstract instructions, and will translate what you need emotionally into music. His playing is outstanding, always serving the track, and his production versatility is immaculate.
I highly recommend working with Leo. Great turnaround times (I didn't have a deadline and he still delivered quickly and very good material). Great and respectful communication.
Look no further.
- check_circleVerified
I sent Leo a dark electronica piece to play some guitars on and he totally elevated the track with his input. His guitar sounds absolutely gorgeous and I am glad I worked with him again on another project. Highly recommended! Perfect experience!
- check_circleVerified
It was totally surreal working with Leo - the parts he provided was simply incredible.
Excited about future projects.

Leo does a great job of taking my abstract direction and running with it in creative ways. His guitar tracks for the latest song I sent him were exactly what the song needed!

Once again, Leo gave me a plethora of very creative guitar tracks for my song. He nailed exactly what I was going for. Highly recommended!
