Leo Moracchioli

Leo MoracchioliAfter following him for almost 2 years, I finally looked deeper into this master of many instruments and incredible metal vocals, and was surprised to learn he was from Norway. I don't know what I expected but yea, duh. Norway. Makes sense now! Leo mainly does covers, but his heavy metal arrangements are - what's the word? - delicious. Whether he's covering "Sweet Home Alabama," "Africa," or "Pink Panther Theme" he makes it sound new.

Leo's YouTube channel feature almost 5 million (!) subscribers He played at Wacken Open Air in 2019 - not too shabby! With his band Frog Leap, he's averaged about a cover per week on YouTube - quite a pace for the professionality that goes into his work. Even the after-song stuff is entertaining.

Leo and his daughterLeo keeps things fresh by collaboratig with other creators, even his daughter (as seen in Chicken Wing Sing). Some of his best work includes:

Sweet Home Alabama
Pink Panther Theme
Weird Science, where he uses a kid's xylophone
