Leo XIV is the contemporary pop/alternative R&B brainchild of Chicago-based music artist Dylan Leo Azadi.

The essence of his sound is perhaps best characterized by its anxiously-vulnerable mood and unapologetically-authentic sound. Intense themes of pain, passion, and deep introspection, channeled through dark and hauntingly-beautiful melodies, are woven within a foundational fabric of hypnotic grooves, lush ambiance, and provocative soundscapes. Stylistics are minimalist yet experimental, and inspiration is palpably drawn from the cosmos, sacred geometry, and past lives riddled with trauma, addiction, identity crisis, and spiritual awakening.

Leo XIV promises to captivate the experiencer with his unique and compelling brand of storytelling while playfully provoking the boundaries of modern music.
