About me

Hi there! I’m Leopoldo Marcello, but everyone calls me Leo—because let’s be honest, "Leopoldo" is a bit too formal, right? I was born in Rome in the '80s, which means I’m basically a child of both great music and questionable fashion choices (don’t judge, I was young). Growing up in a household where music and radio were the heartbeat of daily life, it wasn’t long before I inherited the creative genes, a decent ear for tunes, and a somewhat embarrassing love for being the center of attention.

In 2002, I founded The Gloves — yes, a band with a slightly confusing name, but trust me, it’s memorable. Over the next 20 years, we played over 2,000 shows across Italy. And no, I didn’t get tired of it. In fact, I found my niche specializing in Destination Weddings, making foreign couples feel like they've just stepped into a romantic movie set in Italy. You’re welcome.

Where I come from...

...and where I am going!

I’m also a songwriter, and I love creating the perfect first dance songs in English, Italian, or maybe even a fun mix of both—hey, it’s your day, who’s stopping us? My goal is to make you forget any awkward moments and feel like you’re in a romantic movie. And if no one sheds a tear... well, we’ll just try again with another track!

But wait, there’s more! If you want real energy at your wedding, The Gloves is the band for you. Let’s face it—no playlist beats a live band that turns your wedding into a celebration. With over 2,000 shows, we specialize in weddings, especially destination ones, getting even the shyest dancers to groove. Music is the heart of the party, and with The Gloves, we’ll set the perfect vibe for every moment.

So, if you’re ready for a day full of music, laughter, and that wedding madness, let me know. See you on the dance floor (or, in my case, behind the mic)!
