Leoni Torres is a Cuban singer, songwriter, and record producer born on November 24, 1977, in Camagüey, Cuba.
He started his career as the vocalist for the group Costa Sur. He has a lesser-known facet as a comedian, which led him to create his own group, 'Los Cariduros.' Two years after this project, he began singing with the Maravillas de Florida orchestra, thanks to David Calzado, who heard him and invited him to join Charanga Habanera, where he gained popularity for eight years.
In 2007, Leoni began his solo career and has since enjoyed continued success, 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 Magnus, the record label owned by singer and songwriter Marc Anthony, who became interested in his musical career after the release of the song "Traidora." This track was performed by Marc Anthony together 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 and has served as the soundtrack for Cuban telenovelas (Los tres Villalobos, Añorado encuentro, and Aquí estamos) and television commercials, including his song "No pierdas el tiempo" for the Center for STI/HIV/AIDS Prevention (MINSAP).
He is married to the Cuban actress and presenter Yuliet Cruz, with whom he has two children. Leoni also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
