Leonard Mavi

Leonard Mavi's musical journey begins on a summer evening: having just arrived home, he sits down at the piano still in his shoes and searches for the first chords of “All These Feelings“ between unpacked suitcases. Then the rest of the instruments kick in: the bass, the drum machine, a guitar and finally the first falsetto notes of an unmistakable voice.

This voice is new and yet as if it had always been there. After several years as a keyboarder in various bands, Leonard Mavi now sings himself, giving his voice its place. His music is reminiscent of artists such as Rhye or James Blake but remains true to himself: tender and searching.

The debut EP “Nothing Forever“ drifts through sensitive emotional worlds and multi-faceted sounds, warm guitars and dreamy synths, delicate arrangements and full-bodied final refrains. 

With his new live recording of “All These Feelings (Live Session)”, Leonard Mavi returns to one of the songs at the heart of that EP and brings it closer to the raw moment it first came from. In a warm and intimate live band setting, the song unfolds around his words that move through that inner noise, letting new experiences sink in.
