Described by one listener as 'silk and thunder', newcomer Leio delivers just that. With her soulful lyrics laced with heartbreak, haunting melodies, and a vocal that invites you in, Leio tramples genre-lines to bring you a sound only she could own.

Born to an Indian father and English mother, Leio grew up on the south coast of the UK in a small village. From here she travelled across the US and Europe honing her sound. 'That time in my life was like university; I studied, I wrote, I worked with any writer and producer I could. It's a process, theres always more to learn.'

Now living between London and Manchester, Leio is gearing up for a  string of releases ahead. 'If theres anything I've learnt from these 18months away from performing and creating - it's that you have to go back to why you are doing it in the first place. For me, it's an outlet, they're my stories yes, but I hope in lots of ways, they feel like yours too. I can't wait to share this next chapter with you.'
