Leo Moracchioli-Making Pop Sound Good

The man himself (From his Patreon Page)
Rocking right into this review is someone I recently stumbled upon during a recent YouTube adventure. Leo Moracchioli can only be described as a magician when it comes to all things musical. I mean….he made Anaconda sound amazing.

Based in Norway, Leo does equipment reviews and operates his own studio. However, his music covers will be the topic of this post!

Bringing a seriously epic (and yes the talents of this man are deserving of that word) metal twist to popular songs.  Writing this review is somewhat cumbersome as I’m currently listening to his cover of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ and my sweet potato, is it hard to stop moving to.

It has to be said that Leo really brings a great vibe and atmosphere to his work. Primarily using YouTube to post his music video covers, you can honestly see the energy he puts into it all. Playing all of the instruments himself. Leo operates from his own studio, Leap Frog Studios, where he produces his high quality video and audio content.

He truly draws in an audience by bridging the gap between popular music (Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor, Sia etc.) and some truly great metal. To be honest, I’m usually out of the loop with the current trends of music…but Leo is dragging me back in. He’s sort of like the Pied Piper lulling us along with a Jackson King V…towards an unknown world…and you know what? I don’t care, he’s freaking addictive to listen to.

His vocal range is fantastic, hitting some seriously fast beats with clean and hard vocals. You can tell he has a good voice for metal through the way you can literally hear how much fun he is having. His voice is truly just another instrument that he has mastered. I say this about a guy who’s video cover for ‘Can’t Touch This’…begins on a toilet. But hey! He also does acoustic covers too, thankfully his ‘Toxic’ one…was not performed in any facilities other than his studio!

Fare freaking dues to the dude too. You know, he’s created some fantastic music covers and you can tell the quality of his studio and skills through the audio that he produces.

Feel like listening to some Taylor Swift with a seriously good metal twist? How about…yes…some Justin Bieber? Leo Moracchioli has got you covered. His style is truly fun and something people should try out! He also operates his studio for band recordings, video and also live music.

This review is sort of like trying to explain a Zero Punctuation review. You have to kind of see and hear it to experience it.

So without further ado here is a link to his YouTube: Linky

Hope this gave you a flavor of what Leo is up to. Check him out!

To finish off this review is the single qualm I have with what Leo has produced...he hasn't tackled 'Blank Space' or any One Direction songs yet!

Anyone who wants to be kept in the loop with any other work I'm working on feel free to follow me on Twitter @TGaravan or just stay tuned here!
