Meet the Band
David E Leonard
Lead Vocals
David has been writing music since he was 15 years old, always believing in the dream and never letting it go. In 2019, that dream started to become real when he began assembling what is now a 15-piece band. As each musician joined, the level of talent and heart made it clear—this was it. This was the sound, the people, and the moment he had been working toward all along.
Cybele McGazi
Lead Vocals
Cybéle has been singing since she could talk, and is self-taught on the keys. She grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she graduated from the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA). Cybéle has performed at many of the area's popular piano bars, music lounges, hotels, casinos, and has been one of the top local entertainers since 2006. She released her debut album, “Medicated America" in August 2011, followed by two singles: Sweet Surrender (2015) & Dragonfly (2024 - theme song for The Dragonfly Foundation). After getting married, having two children, and homeschooling them for 4 years during COVID, Cybéle has postponed her sophomore album project until life slows down a bit.
