Leon Faun, stage name of Leon de la Vallée (Rome, 2001), is an Italian rapper. His tracks are often inspired by themes found in fantasy films or role-playing games, such as Assassin’s Creed, Bridge to Terabithia, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Having come into contact with music since he was a child, at the age of 12 he began writing his first hip-hop songs, inspired by the style of artists like Eminem.
In 2015, he published his first tracks on YouTube using the pseudonym LYO: in 2017, he also released his first EP, entitled Endless, and the single “Terabithia”.
In 2018, Leon decided to adopt a new stage name, Leon Faun, which was officially inaugurated on October 25th with the release of the track “Animus”.
Soon, the single attracted the attention of the independent record label Arcade Army, which thus began promoting the young artist's work.
The subsequent singles, instead, are part of the Cronache di Mairon project, which evokes fantasy themes and is enriched by the videos created by thaevil..
