Leo XIV is the alternative Pop/R&B brainchild of Chicago-based music artist, singer, songwriter, and producer Dylan Leo Azadi.
Leo XIV's sound is perhaps best characterized by its intense vulnerability and unapologetic authenticity. Cathartic manifestations of pain, passion, and deep introspection are channeled through hauntingly-beautiful melodies and interwoven within a foundational fabric of hypnotic grooves, ethereal ambiance, and provocative soundscapes. Stylistics are minimalist yet experimental, and inspiration is palpably drawn from the cosmos, sacred geometry, and past lives riddled with trauma, identity crisis, and spiritual awakening.
Leo XIV aims to captivate the experiencer with his unique and compelling brand of storytelling, guiding them on a journey through both light and darkness, all while playfully provoking the boundaries of modern music.
