Leoni Torres is a Cuban singer, songwriter, and record producer who was born on November 24, 1977, in Camagüey, Cuba.
He began his career as the vocalist for the group Costa Sur. He also has a lesser-known side as a comedian, which led him to form his own group, "Los Cariduros." Two years after this project, he started performing with the Maravillas de Florida orchestra, thanks to which he joined Charanga Habanera after being heard by David Calzado, where he gained popularity for eight years.
In 2007, Leoni began his solo career and has since continued to enjoy success, lending his voice and collaborating on projects with prominent Cuban and international artists such as Descemer Bueno, Polito Ibañez, El Micha, Pablo Milanés, and Kelvis Ochoa. He has recorded with Rosario Flores and Gilberto Santa Rosa, and in 2016, he signed a contract with the record label Magnus, owned by singer and songwriter Marc Anthony, who became interested in Leoni's musical career following the song "Traidora." This track was performed by Marc Anthony alongside the popular group Gente de Zona and is co-authored by Leoni and Randy Malcom, one of the group's members.
He has received the Popularity Award on several occasions and has served as the soundtrack for Cuban telenovelas (Los tres Villalobos, Añorado encuentro, and Aquí estamos) as well as for television commercials, including his song "No pierdas el tiempo" for the Center for the Prevention of STIs/HIV/AIDS (MINSAP)
