LJM STUDIO"S two-decade career epitomises the saying, “good things come to those who wait.” Starting as an assistant sound engineer at Swan Yard Innovation Studios in London, he seized every opportunity to develop his own material. His talent led to a deal with Island Records, where he collaborated with industry heavyweights like Mark Ronson and Bloodshy & Avant. His critically acclaimed 2008 album Bent Out of Shape showcased his indie funk style, earning him UK and European tours and two Glastonbury performances.

Despite initial success, Leon’s path took a turn when his relationship with Island Records ended. A stint in Australia sparked a new direction: composing for film and TV. Back in London, he shadowed renowned composer Christian Henson, absorbing knowledge that propelled him into scoring projects like Robot Overlords.

Leon’s versatility extended to collaborations with global fashion brands, including Vogue and Valentino. In 2023, his studio scored three acclaimed documentaries (Love Languages, Run to the Source, Our Jubilee). As co-owner and Director of Composition at Curation, one of Europe’s most successful and only Black and Brown-owned music agencies, Leon continues to redefine success, blending creativity and cultural impact across music, film, and fashion.
