⊹
The improvisational spirit of Marvelous (aka Leo Dreis) travels through his piano, voice, and compositions. Existing at the intersection of jazz, soul, classical, and folk, he conveys heartfelt messages that transcend time. He is inspired by the piano stylings of New Orleans, the rhythms of Russian dances, and the written word of fairy tales. Through his artistry, he skillfully merges these diverse elements into a seamless tapestry of sound, and he attends to each performance with presence, carrying a deep reverence for music history and sonic craftsmanship. Ultimately, Marvelous creates innovative stories of song in service to the heart.
