He subsequently established a band, the Musketeers, which included the now popularly singer Morachi and performed under the stage name B-Flow.
Leo has recorded in studios alongside some of Nigeria’s most respected musicians including the Plantashun Boiz, Paul Play, Mr. Kool, Gino, the late Da-grin, Nomoreloss and OJB, and Naeto C, among many.
He is most recognized for his powerful feature and duet single ‘Ife Wa Gbona’ (our love is hot) with Nigerian singer and songwriter Tiwa Savage, previously with Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records and is now signed to Universal Music Group.
