Interview with Leo Valente

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I’d describe my style as modern, versatile, and emotionally driven. Whether I’m producing Pop, R&B, TrapSoul, or EDM, I focus on clean arrangements, strong melodies, and a radio-ready mix that connects with listeners. I’m flexible and adapt my sound to fit each artist’s unique vision.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d love to work with Max Martin because he’s a genius at creating timeless Pop hits with unforgettable melodies and powerful productions. His ability to craft songs that connect emotionally and dominate the charts is incredibly inspiring. I’d love to learn from his approach and contribute my own modern touch to his iconic sound.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Music is a dance of frequencies. Understanding how each element fits in the spectrum is key. Avoid overusing reverb, or your mix can get muddy and lose clarity and transients.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is writing modern, catchy toplines and meaningful lyrics that connect emotionally with listeners. I specialize in crafting memorable hooks and melodies that bring songs to life and give artists a unique, radio-ready sound.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring emotional vocals, catchy melodies, and modern toplines that connect with listeners and give artists a unique, radio-ready sound.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My process starts with understanding the artist’s vision, references, and the emotion they want to convey. For production, I create an instrumental draft and share it for feedback. For vocals, I record a demo so the client can approve the vibe and tone. We refine everything through revisions until it matches the client’s style and sounds radio-ready. Communication and collaboration are key in every step.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is based in Rio de Janeiro and equipped for professional vocal recording and production. I use a Shure SM7B microphone paired with a CloudLifter and a Focusrite 2i2 interface, ensuring clean, detailed vocals. Monitoring is done through Yamaha HS5 monitors and Neumann NDH-20 headphones for precise mixing. I work in Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro M1, and I have a collection of guitars, keyboards, and virtual instruments to create unique textures and modern soundscapes.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I’m inspired by artists like The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and Chris Brown for their vocal performance and songwriting, and by producers like Max Martin, Timbaland, and Illangelo for their innovative sound, modern production, and ability to create hits that connect emotionally and commercially.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mainly write and record modern Pop, R&B, and TrapSoul vocals. I create original melodies, catchy hooks, and meaningful lyrics, delivering clean, pro recordings that help artists bring their songs to life and stand out on streaming platforms.
