Tania Leon

"Like everything in life, we are all reinventing ourselves constantly. d

Cultures have emerged from the influences of people travelling aroun
the planet. The same could be said for the evolution of music. In a
hundred years from now, we might have a hybrid developed from the
pollination that is going on in the world of music at this moment. I draw
my inspiration from my ancestors and all of those I have been able to
learn about or learn from in all walks of life. My early Influences were
Bach and Cervantes. The piano was the first instrument I touched as a
baby - Grandma gave me a toy piano before I was one year old. I began
my music studies, on the piano, at four. In Tumbao, I enjoyed being able
to release some of my most vital roots into my composing mix."
