Mike Leone: A Brief History

Mike Leone moved from Boston to Los Angeles after graduating from Berklee College of Music and began working with numerous artists, producing and engineering their albums, and often co-writing songs. Working with many solo artists forced him to play most, if not all instrumental parts himself. Years later, after the completion of many projects, this had become an integral part of his production method, allowing for more conceptual and creative freedom.

"In modern music, you can not separate a song from the production, or even the mixing. They are one thing. I like to make sure all the pieces are as great as they can possibly be. If I'm investing myself in an artist and a song, I have to make it count." His skills and unique sound quickly won him praise from veteran producers and mastering engineers in the Los Angeles music scene.

After only one year in L.A., Leone's work had been featured on the highly influential L.A. radio station, KCRW, NPR's "All Songs Considered", at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and garnered licensing deals for shows on the television networks, WB and FOX. His work was most recently featured on FOX's hit show, "The O.C.", and on FX's "Rescue Me".

Desiring a more genuinely artistic place to create, he and his fiancee relocated to beautiful Austin, TX. where they now reside.
