Back in 2005 when he immersed in the Italian heavy metal and rock scene, Leekayja’s musical talent went to a whole new level due to his work ethic and passion for the craft. Bounding through the limits of the established genres, he engaged in music production and also explored areas of sound and composition which were never covered before.
In 2023 Leekayja finished his creative journey with the release of The Leekayja project, showcasing his limitless talent and innovative thinking in music. His introduction track titled “Save Me,” produced in December 2023, enthralled audiences with its striking combination of edgy electronic dance rhythms and thoughtful guitar melody, creating an atmosphere of his distinctive musical aura.
The art of music is an extraordinary journey, a world that Leekayja frequently takes us to, challenging the norm and encouraging us to discover the power of music in our daily life.

What is your stage name
LEEKAYJA
Is there a story behind your stage name?
It is an anagram with the names Jay and Keela. They are the names of two virtual voices of the software EmVoiceOne that I used in may tracks
Where do you find inspiration?
In everyday life. in my personal experiences, in my dissatisfactions
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
I learnt to play the guitar and appreciate music late, at 14 years old. , so my adolescence was all based on the idea of wanting to form a successful band
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
No
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
I think one band above all, Duran Duran. I grew up with their music then moved on to rock and metal (even extreme). But Duran have always remained a reference
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
When I was 14 there i saw a boy who played acoustic guitar on the beach. I was fascinated and so I decided that I had to learn to play the guitar. I’ve always been out of tune though….I cannot sing…in fact I use virtual singers;)
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
LITFIBA ( new wave Italian band) when I was 17, then U2 and Duran
How could you describe your music?
I don’t know.. melancholy pop rock? (haha) I know that my goal is to try to combine the strength of metal rhythms with the immediacy of pop melodies. Which is what Dark Tranquility (from whom Leekayja is very very very far away) did in part, even if they sing in “growl” so it’s not easy to perceive it.
Describe your creative process…
I start by jotting down a few words or some musical ideas, then if the moment is the right one the song arises by itself like a flow, word after word, idea after idea… it doesn’t always happen though
What are your interests outside of music?
Music doesn’t give me money to live on. I am an engineer and in my free time, in addition to playing, I do sports (Kung fu and windsurfing). I love technology especially when applied to music.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
The music market is the problem. If you don’t sell, no one pushes you, if no one pushes you, no one listens to you. You must necessarily be aligned with the fashion of the moment otherwise it is very difficult to get into the business…. I would add that the masses largely only listen to what is advertised or pushed through the media,
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
The mainstream system
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
“Save me” is a cry for help against loneliness and emotional sterility
What are your plans for the coming months?
To record other 5 or 6 new song that are almost ready.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
No
What message would you like to give to your fan.
Listen to music with an open mind and be curious.
