Rising Latin pop singer and songwriter LEYO has just released his latest single, "Si Me Ven," now available on all major streaming platforms through Venice Music. Known for his powerful vocals and strong Mexican influences, LEYO’s new track delves into themes of self-acceptance and artistic freedom.
A Declaration of Independence
Produced in Los Angeles by Grammy-nominated producer Stylolive (Los Rakas), "Si Me Ven" stands as a bold declaration of independence and authenticity for LEYO. He shares, "Si Me Ven is inspired by my feeling liberated by embracing my truth. Taking control of my own narrative and telling all the gossipers and naysayers. The song was inspired by Juan Gabriel who iconically said, ‘lo que se ve no se pregunta’ live and be proud of who you are. Giving Zero F#cks!”
