In 2019, Leo’s second solo album, “No Illness, No Moaning, Feeling Lyrics,” won the “Best Male Artist” award at the Golden Melody Awards, Taiwan’s equivalent of the Grammy Awards.

Since then, he has continued to produce numerous works and genre-bending collaborations, making him a leading artist in the scene. ~Message from Leo~ Hello, friends from Japan!
