About
LEO ABISAAB describes a shift in Australian music.
A person defying labels and conformity - his music transcends conventional genre boundaries, drawing from a rich tapestry of influences spanning from Neo-soul to jazz to RnB and Arabic Folk - crafting a sound that is bold, soulful, and unapologetically authentic, LEO is carving out a lane entirely his own.
To truly understand LEO ABISAAB, you have to experience him live; that is where his truest form unveils itself and his artistry reaches its fullest expression. Possessing a voice of remarkable power, nuance, and emotional depth, he has a rare ability to command attention and draw audiences into his world. As L-FRESH The LION put it, following one of LEO’s performances, "we were taken to your universe; wherever you wanted to take us, we were in the palm of your hands.”
Over the past three years, LEO has established himself as one of Sydney's most revered emerging artists, making a name for himself gigging throughout some of Sydney’s most iconic venues. From his sell-out headline show at Lazybones Lounge to singing with Miss Kaninna at the Sydney Opera House.
In 2026, LEO was selected to participate in the prestigious ONE OFF TRAKS writing camp, won the Western-Sydney Battle of the Bands, performed with Miles Nautu and ZIPPORAH at each of their respective VIVID LIVE shows in the Sydney Opera House, and is set to make his festival debut at this year's Parramatta Lanes Festival.
With his undeniable talent, relentless drive, and a rapidly growing audience, LEO is quickly becoming an emerging force in the Australian music scene.
