- A GRAMMY WINNING STUDIO -
"I don’t believe in AI or automated services. I believe in creativity, human interaction and passion for music."
LEO JOSEFSSON / GRAMMY WINNING PRODUCER
“I’m a producer based in Stockholm, Sweden. I specialize in producing, mixing and mastering electronic pop, dark pop, edm and indie music. My passion for analogue and vintage synths combined with my rack of analogue outboard has become a part of my trademark.”
In his early career (2001) Leo teamed up with Pat Reiniz and produced “Cotton Eye Joe 2003” with Rednex and soundtrack for the movie “Barnyard” (Paramount Pictures). He was awarded with a Grammy (Swedish Grammis) for his work with Nassim Al Fakir in 2023. He also produced the official version of the mega viral phenomenon “Gegagedigedagedago” that made Rednex the worlds most streamed artist in the world in 2024 (!).
Leo was teamed up with Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Coldplay, Pink, Katy Perry) at Capitol Records/Universal to develop acts like The Pusher, Alex Saidac, Robin Stjernberg. He produced and wrote the underground hit “In My Head” by Tilly & Elliphant (2013).
Leo is a luminary of the Stockholm electronic scene with the bands Unify Separate, Lowe and Statemachine, whose work has been recognised with several Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards, including Best Newcomer, Best Live Act, Best Song and Best Album.

Award winning Hybrid Workflow
// Record / Produce / Mix / Master
My workflow combines signal chains that use both digital (software) and analog outboard gear. I favor and frequently use plugins from FabFilter, Universal Audio, Softube, Plugin Alliance, iZotope, and SSL, among others.
Hardware is most commonly used during tracking and recording, while plugins and software are particularly useful during the mixing process. I often combine them by inserting analog outboard gear on individual tracks, stems, buses, and the mix or master bus.
