LEO CHICATUN

I am a 15-year-old musical producer, songwriter, and pianist with an unwavering passion for music. Since my earliest memories, music has been an integral part of my life. It all began with piano lessons, which opened doors to various other fields within the realm of music. At the age of twelve, I ventured into composing music, embarking on a journey of continuous learning and practice to refine my skills. Although I still consider myself a beginner, my goal is to immerse myself in music until I am mistaken for a seasoned professional.

While my primary focus lies in electronic music production, I also indulge in improvisational piano across a wide range of genres. I find solace and joy in playing the piano for hours on end, using my hands as conduits to convey the desired emotions. As a producer, I understand the importance of unwavering dedication and laser-sharp focus required to create captivating music. Crafting a dynamic and balanced mixdown is a challenging task, often underestimated by those who witness professionals make it seem effortless. As an intermediate artist, I am committed to giving my utmost every time I sit down to work.

Navigating the realm of music as a teenager presents its own set of challenges. The world is filled with distractions that constantly vie for my attention, making it crucial for me to stay steadfast in my pursuit of musical excellence. However, I am determined to overcome these obstacles and continue striving for more sophisticated compositions. While I haven't yet made a firm decision about pursuing music professionally, my love for the craft and my aspiration to create intricate and evocative music remain unwavering.
