"Five Questions With Leo Vance"

Care to introduce yourself to our readers?

Hi my name is Leo Vance, I am 21 years old from Toronto, Canada. I have to give a shout out to Detroit, as I spent a lot of my childhood there where my father was born and raised. I grew up in music as both my parents were in music, so the support in my career has always been there. I started my music journey at the age of 13, writing, arranging and producing my sound which carried out through my teen years. Some would say I am an old soul, and I draw most of my inspirations from the old Motown sound, to the 80’s genre, old and new hip-hop to classical music and r&b. Music is my life. - Canadian Beats

Bio

Leo Vance is a 26-year-old recording artist and music producer from Toronto, Canada. Leo has a diverse heritage and is proudly Indigenous on his mother’s side and African American on his father’s side. Both parents were heavily into music and Leo found himself in music studios from a young age. Culturally he has had the opportunity to see and experience living in the U.S and Canada. Detroit, where he spent most of his childhood, and Toronto where he spent his teen years.“Both places have been the springboard of who I am as a person and artist. 

Leo is an award-winning artist on his own merit and understands the meaning of being an independent artist. Vance understands the meaning of being a true entrepreneur and visionary, “Both my parents were entrepreneurs and inventors and I consider my music my business.” says Leo.

Not only is Leo a recording artist, but he also writes, produces, and engineers his own music and for other local artists under the producer name Emerald Beatz. Working with others helps me grow as an artist and also allows my music to evolve. Music is full-time for me.

Leo has performed at many Canadian Music Festivals and venues and he recently moved to Miami, Florida to gain more exposure for his music and brand.

Leo's music can be described as versatile, smooth, with a bouncy feel. His stories have motivational lyrics that are emotionally driven to inspire, connect and speak to his listener.
