Hi, so you looked me up! Ok, I'm Leo Cerasa. I run a Sync/Publishing co. Couteau Music, and record label Saboteur Musique. I've also worked as a Soundtrack Supervisor, and over the last number of years, been an educator in the business of music and event production.
So, it starts with repeatedly listening to The Beatles 1967-1970 album at age 4. I then got my dream job as a record store clerk at 17. If you didn't get My Bloody Valentine, I simply pointed you towards the Guns n' roses rack and that was that. Watch High-Fidelity the movie if you haven't yet. From there, in the early 90's I became an underground techno dj and show promoter….that's code for I threw Raves and eventually legit concerts. When that world left the warehouses and entered the clubs, I was less interested and founded Saboteur Musique. At first an underground deep techno and house record label printing vinyl, then a crossover electronic-pop label pressing cd's at a quantity that brought gold records and international acclaim to it, and now a deep Tech/House/Italo label again. Alongside all of this I moved into soundtrack supervision and radio programming for a number of years. In 2019 I partnered with a seasoned publishing professional to form a boutique sync and publishing company Couteau Music. Two years after that, I started teaching about the wild world known as the music industry. I have a serious fixation to sound.
