Published on February 24, 2022

How did you come by your stage / band / brand name?

Leo Ruff is a young sensation from London who emerged onto the scene in early 2021 with his club hit Tech House record ‘Get Down’. With the extensive support he received from leading UK radios such as KISS FM & Sunrise FM, and support from some of the biggest names in dance music such as EDX & Tungevaag, Leo is a name to watch.

His debut track peaked at number #13 on the Upfront UK Club Charts & his energetic live sets are shaping up to set him apart from his competition. Leo has been working hard over the past year and he’s excited to show off his new music, including some heavy-hitting collaborations. Billed as the next Joel Corry by Hertz Magazine, Leo certainly isn’t slowing down any time soon.

When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?

For as long as he can recall, Leo Ruff has been surrounded by music, whether it was the soul CDs streaming out of his grandmother’s kitchen or the booming house records that were personal favorites of his father. This has shaped the groundbreaking records he now creates out of his London studio, with a heavy release schedule penned for 2022. With all the support piling up from some of the biggest names in dance music, the future is looking bright for this young prodigy.

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

I can say that my style comes from Joel Corry, Nathan Dawe, and Navos.
