LEO MANTINI
FREELANCE PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER
ABOUT
I am a London based experienced, reliable and versatile professional Drummer with a friendly approach.
Since I settled down in London in 1996, I have committed as a full-time band member as well as a freelance player performing a variety of studio and live work covering many musical styles performing for packed audiences in the UK and Internationally.
I have always been fascinated with instruments and the way performing can touch each and every person. From young age, I was drawn to music and always wanted to perform, banging on blocks and any surface available. Once I picked up an instrument for the first time, there was no turning back. After years of committed study and practice, the dream crystallised of becoming a professional Drummer.
With a love of all things music, performance and entertainment, I seek to continually develop, create, and share my musical artistry through new short and long-term projects.
As an experienced and accomplished Drummer, I can offer a truly flexible performance serving all of your musical needs. I am available for deputy work, UK and overseas tour.
