Interview: Getting to know Los Leo

Adelaide based indie-pop artist Los Leo has just released his new single. We asked him to tell us about himself:

I am… tired. I’m currently at the Airport about to fly home. I just finished Touring with LANY on the Australian leg of their world tour. I think it’s safe to say I need to catch up on some sleep.

Home is… wherever the people that mean the most to you are. So currently for me Adelaide is home.

I spend too much time… starting songs and not finishing them. Every time I walk into a session or sit down to write at home, I end up starting a new song. I have a huge catalogue of songs I’ve started and probably will never be finished.
