Leonard Barger

Leonard is a multi-instrumentalist and has been composing music in a variety of styles over the years and have been responsible for the production of songs for New Jazz Movement and MetalCore music including commercially licensed work for other established artists. Using a blend of traditional electric and acoustic guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and percussion to compose the music. Below are links to listen/purchase the songs. Thank you so much for your continued support! ?

Started in undisciplined music back in the 70's on pop piano, learning to play popular songs featured on the radio by ear. Started learning to play rock on drums in the 80's following bands like Rush, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio and trying to emulate what was heard in the heavy mixes of that time and finally grunge,metal, and jazz guitar in the 90's to present. Managed to pull it all together using the built-in sound engineering skills acquired along the way, and this has allowed the creation and delivery of this new kind of soothing music that is complex at times but always sincere and honest in its form. Although the songs are absent of any vocals, the songs themselves sing masterfully well!
