| A CD Tribute To Fight Against Cancer Smooth jazz recording artist Leon gives tribute to his mother's legacy with his debut release CD "My Soul Speaks" released September 12, 2006 and pledges to raise $50, 000 for cancer research. This bold undertaking solidifies just what is important to Leon. Leon believes that "man is at his best when he is helping others" and that is just what he does. By day, Leon helps to improve the fitness and well-being of his clients at Fitness Now, located at 2171 Morris Avenue in Union, New Jersey. Many clients with different lifestyles find that under his personal training tutelage they are experiencing a renewed appreciation for personal fitness, health and wellness. Likewise, he is also dedicated to young people. As a martial arts instructor, he is personally committed to teaching young people how to become positive citizens in society through character education and martial arts training. Leon is a people person. His vision, his life's philosophy and his love for his mother are all the lighthouses that guide him during this sincere endeavor. During the night owl hours, Leon is "One to One" with his music. He plays his jazz guitar, he writes his music and he reflects on life. As a musician of genuine talent and passion, he has often been heard saying, "I can't make any new notes, but the notes I play are played with passion." Smooth Jazz.com's Scott O'Brien says, "Leon caresses beautiful, gentle sounds out of his hollow body jazz guitar ... the kind of sounds that make listening to this disc truly special and satisfying." With that very own passion, he will use proceeds from his recently released solo CD, "My Soul Speaks" to realize his goal of $50, 000.
