Leoni Torres is a Cuban singer, songwriter, and music producer who was born on November 24, 1977, in Camagüey, Cuba.
He began his career as the vocalist for the group Costa Sur. He has a less well-known side as a comedian, which led him to create his own group, 'Los Cariduros'. Two years after this project, he started singing with the Maravillas de Florida orchestra, which eventually led him to join Charanga Habanera after David Calzado heard him. He gained popularity there for eight years.
In 2007, Leoni began his solo career and since then he has continuously achieved success by lending his voice and collaborating on projects with renowned 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 his musical career following the hit "Traidora." This song was performed by Marc Anthony along with the popular group Gente de Zona and was co-written by Leoni and Randy Malcom, one of the group's members.
He has received the Popularity Award several times, served as the theme song for Cuban telenovelas (Los tres Villalobos, Añorado encuentro, and Aquí estamos), and featured in television commercials, including his song “No pierdas el tiempo” for the Center for the Prevention of STIs/HIV/AIDS (MINSAP)
