About Leo
I’m a DJ/Producer who goes by the artist name leoleoleo, based in Whalley Range, Manchester. As a DJ I’ve played alongside Bradley Zero, Gilles Peterson, Nightmares on Wax, Gerd Janson, Omar S, Patrick Topping, Moxie and Mike Skinner (The Streets) at major clubs such as Hope Works, Brilliant Corners, Wire and Hidden to name a few. I’ve spun on NTS Radio and Rinse FM and have a monthly show on Steam Radio - I specialise in house, disco and techno but my style is generally quite eclectic, I like to throw in left-field classics, hidden gems and secret weapons from across the board. My productions as leoleoleo have seen support from a wide range of artists including Horse Meat Disco, Optimo, Sasha and Gigi FM. My music has encompassed electronica, balearica, trance, breakbeat and broken techno. I’ve worked in a record store, as a music journalist (currently Clubs Editor for Manchester Wire), as a promoter and as Manchester’s City Coordinator for Create Define Release, an Arts Council funded production workshop at Soup. I also have 10 years of experience as an open format DJ in bars, restaurants, clubs, food markets, retail and on radio primarily in Manchester, Sheffield and London, but also around the UK. I’ve got a BA Dual Honours in English Literature and Music from the University of Sheffield. Music has been my life and passion and I love sharing that energy through tutoring, performing and writing music. Look forward to hearing from you!

I'll be approaching the lessons in fun and passionate way, teaching DJing and Music Production in an open and exciting style that will ensure that you don’t end up sounding like everyone else. I'll be using music theory when necessary to help you gain the necessary skills to progress quickly and in the right direction. I use Ableton Live for producing. I can help you find the right laptop and software to get started on your production journey. If you're more intermediate I can help you make your tracks sound more unique, slicker and more dynamic. In our DJing lessons, I'll help you transition from beginner to intermediate, or intermediate to expert by showing you my way of making sure every track you play has the impact you want it to, as well as tricks of the trade. I have experience on most DJ set ups around, so I can help you get started on your controller or by showing you the best and most affordable equipment to buy. I can also show you how to organise and download music using iTunes and Rekordbox if you need me to.

Leo is a warm, welcoming, friendly & patient tutor :) every lesson i’ve had with him has been so much fun and he is super supportive! taking the time to think about what’s best for me in order to grow as a DJ and is very knowledgeable! I wouldn’t hesitate to use him!
I had the pleasure of working with Leo and honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me. When we started, I had a pretty basic understanding of DJ’ing — I knew some of the fundamentals but had no real idea how to put a proper set together.
Leo helped me connect the dots. He broke things down in a way that just made sense and helped me understand both the art and the science of it — from track selection and structure to flow, energy, and feel. It wasn’t just technical, it was creative too, which made it way more fun and inspiring.
Thanks to him, I can now sit down and put a set together with confidence, and actually enjoy the process. Big thanks, Leo — really appreciate the time, patience, and knowledge you’ve shared.Leo’s been a massive help with progressing and elevating my DJing. He’s helped break down some bad habits like overthinking, over-planning and not leaving room for creativity and improvisation. He’s also helped both improve my skills and get my nerves in check.
He’s patient, has a great approach to teaching and will always try to make sure you get the most from his lessons. And I’ve picked up some really useful tricks to give my sets more impact!Thank you for the sessions you’ve been a massive help and the push I needed to get started on this journey, you were proper helpful and patient just what I needed, you kept the lessons fun interesting and engaging, once again thank you!
Leo has a friendly and approachable teaching style that made the whole process a lot easier. He walked me through some of the basics regarding pitch / volume control and gave me plenty of advice on music energy and organisation.
Highly recommended to anyone who needs that bit of extra support.I would highly recommend Leo if your looking for a teacher to help you with your dj skills. He is knowledgeable , friendly and helpful. I started as a begginer dj with little skill and understanding of djing but with Leo help I have better understanding of djing and can now perform my own mixing.
Leo is a very knowledgable tutor and his explanations are easy to understand. Leo was flexible, fitting sessions in around my schedule. I completed 10 hours of tutoring and covered a mixture of DJing and music production - very helpful and got me on track to continue independently. Thanks!
Leo is a great tutor, he’s really helped me get to grips with the skill of Dj-ing. His expertise has helped me understand the basics quickly. Leo’s deep understanding of various music genres ensures a comprehensive learning experience and his musical skills have provided me with a solid foundation.
Leo's been amazing at understanding my mindset and my tendency to overthink in my DJ sets. He understands the stressful patterns I've gotten into. Through organisational tips and mindset tips I've improved. In my online session he also gave me a live mix example which was a clever idea of how to maybe approach a residency set I had. I will definitely be having more sessions in the near future.
Leo is an amazing tutor, his technical skills are second to none but more importantly he really gave me the confidence and practical advice I needed to move my djing career forward. I learnt so much from just a few sessions, following which I was able to secure gigs and radio shows, which wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Leo’s support! He’s super sound and easy to talk to as well - the perfect tutor!!
Leo is a good tutor, considered someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at explaining concepts clearly. He is also good at what he does. I highly recommend Leo
Leo is a great teacher! It's rare to find a tutor with such a breadth of practical experience DJing professionally who manages to make it feel relaxed and fun! fully recommend
I had no prior understanding or skill before starting tutoring but Leo really made me feel at ease, he’s really good at explaining everything (in a way i understand) and has tons of patience, really enjoying our sessions thank you !
