"I have been in the music industry for over 40 years and I find Leandro Lehart's music uplifting and moving. His rhythms are infectious and when you hear his music, you have only one thing to do and this to move with the beat."

BILL CHERRY (Worked with Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Prince and Earth Wind and Fire).


"I do not think you should say you have been in the music business for 40 years, the music business in the US is a very Young business although you look much younger. Leandro Lehart is a one of a kind international star with a new rhythm and meaning for soul music which comes from the R&B music of the world."

ROY CICALA (Worked with John Lennon, Jimmy Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jobim, Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger and Cindy Lauper).
