I specialize in full-on production, beat programming, and in creating/ editing backing/instrumental tracks for live purposes. Negotiable rates and ambitious work ethic and drive.
My name is Leo Freire and I am a NYC based, signed artist at Fieldhouse/ BMG. I have performed for crowds ranging from one to 22,000, sharing the stage with some of the highest-selling, biggest acts in modern music. I also have been appointed the Director of Music Technology at the prestigious Fiorello LaGuardia High School of the Arts for 2022/2023.
Some of my live and recording experience experience has included known artists such as Wheatus, Flatbush Zombies, Andrew W.K., and more, in addition to dozens of independent artists.
And I have performed on and produced dozens of recordings to date.
It is my passion to share my journey to help others achieve their musical visions and I will tirelessly and diligently work to make that happen. I am quick and highly open to direction and look forward to working together!
