Simon Leoza
Simon Leoza (also known as Tambour) is a Montreal-based composer whose pieces are sometimes contemplative and sensitive, sometimes lively, and poignant, straddling the line between neoclassical, ambient and electronic minimalism.
With over 8 million online streams, his works have attracted the attention of national and international critics, who have described them as melancholic and grandiose, mixing soft acoustics and dreamlike, nostalgic landscapes.

The artist has also composed music for several short films, plays and other artistic projects, and he distinguished himself at the 2021 Gala de l’ADISQ with a stunning performance, in addition to winning an award for his virtual concert at La Maison Symphonique de Montréal.
