Leon cut his musical teeth playing guitar in '90s rock band Fat Mannequin, which introduced him to both the live stage and studio environment from age 16.
In '98, frustrated by the lack of tonal variety in guitars, Leon swapped his guitars for a collection of keyboards and samplers, and the rest is history. As a natural progression from producing dance music, Leon D started DJing in 1999.

Leon has clocked up DJ support slots for many international acts including Ian Pooley, Eddie Matos, FC Kahuna, DJ Joshua, Dano, Miles Hollway and Jonathan Yeo.

Leon was also part of the Cuffy & Leon D production team.
In Wellington, Cuffy and Leon teamed up in 1999 combining their gear and knowledge in pursuit of creating their own sound. 
With a number of vinyl and CD releases in the golden era of NZ dance music they crafted their sound from electronica to disco.

By day, Leon is Product Manager for the Recording, Synth, DJ & Livesound brands at Rockshop, New Zealand's largest musical instrument retailer.
