Awir Leon

Carving his own space somewhere between alternative hip hop, experimental electronica and soulful songwriting, Awir Leon is a unique voice, questioning boxes as if to make us question ours.

Not only a musician but also a dancer, he toured for a decade with several international dance companies, such as Emanuel Gat Dance, before feeling the need to focus mostly on his music. He did so firstly with a trio called UNNO, then later began releasing music as Awir.

On his third effort, “Love You, Drink Water”, Awir opens a more direct and personal window to his music. It’s a story of inner monsters, of seeking, of failing, of hope. Even though musically complex and intricate, it feels raw, unedited and unapologetic, like a gust of life. It deals with what it means to be a person today, in the most vulnerable way.
