"Innovative, creative, a master of composition, completely in tune with the times, Leo Minax brings us the conviction that songwriting is always something transformative. And this is what we want! ... “

(LÔ BORGES – Brazilian composer from the “Clube da Esquina” movement)



"Not only does he have the rare talent of finding the right words, but also the voice and the approach to bring out their full sound. Leo uses rhyme with vigor, intelligence and elegance. His music is made from layers of the most enduring B-Rock, with the sensitivity of the song that there was before, and the spirit that now beats in urban Brazil, a territory which is part of the valuable Leo Minax`s musical identity. "

(BRUNO GALINDO – Writer, journalist and performer)



"Leo Minax is a complete artist. He composes very well, the lyrics and the melody. Moreover, he is an assured and expressive singer. And not only that: he also plays the guitar with total mastery. He has an unusual rhythmic sense and his harmony is extremely rich. His performances on stage are unbeatable. Leo puts all of this in the service of his art. Sometimes he seems a contemporary troubadour, singing verses full of poetry. Other times he`s just looking for a song that’s complete, well-formed.

We are friends and partners. We’ve made a few good songs, with the promise of increasing the harvest. I really like sharing the stage with him. We always have a good time!"

(CHICO AMARAL – Brazilian composer)



"Jungles. Overflowing rivers. Colors of the air. Rhythms of the blood. In the music of Leo is all of this. Safe and contained. Like the sea in the clouds. Fresh water without weight. Voice without gravity. Hummingbird wings. Strength and caress. Melodies that rise over the broken beat. Hand that touches a stone. Song and soul. Leo thinks harmonies that search for words (...) "

(PABLO GUERRERO – Spanish poet and songwriter)
