Leo Pastel made his debut in 2018 with "Woah", a track created alongside close friends Muwosi and internetboy. The song's early success launched a dynamic career that has included performing with Kanye West's Sunday Service Choir, being tapped by The National to play their Cincy-based Homecoming Festival, and co-founding the Detroit-based indie band Hard Car Kids.

A self-described "multisensory artist", Leo loves experimenting with novel technology. He's an early adopter of AI music, an active contributor to the onchain music space, and also works as a freelance graphic and UX designer.

Leo cares deeply about family and community. Raised one of six in a faith-driven household, he now channels those values into THE 3THER—a grassroots creative collective traveling the country and hosting events, while staying true to its mission of spreading love through art.
