Available to hire
I’m Serge Leonardi, a Paris-based musician and guitarist with a passion for blending live performance with cinematic storytelling. I perform with major international bands and create original music for documentaries and films, always keeping the guitar close to my heart as I craft melodies and atmospheres that breathe life into scenes.
Around cinema, documentaries, advertising, and live performances, I’ve built a platform of sounds used worldwide. I’ve written film scores for Ronit Elkabetz, created theatre music for Peter Pan at Bobino Paris with Yasmina Reza and Joel Dragutin, and composed for brands including Dior and Rolex. In 2021 I was nominated for Best Music at Aubagne International Film Festival for Les Sanguins and won a CREA Music Festival prize for a Canal+ series Les Paris du Globe Cooker.
