Biography
Fonyuy Leonard Nsohburinka, performing as award-winning Cameroonian vocalist Mr. Leo, first surfaced in 2015 with an approach that fused Afropop, hip-hop, and dancehall. The year brought immediate traction through his chart-topping release “E Go Betta,” multiple wins at the Balafon Music Awards and All Africa Music Awards, and the subsequent appearance of his well-received debut album, Love Original, in 2017.
Raised inside a military camp in Buea, capital of the Southwest Region, Nsohburinka sang during his school years with the Breakthrough Voices choir, the same ensemble that earlier propelled Cameroonian artists Salatiel and Blaise-B. Inspired by Seal, Lemar, Garou, and 2face Idibia, he began collaborating with Salatiel and became the first artist signed to Alpha Better Records. The 2015 single “E Go Betta,” followed by “On Va Gérer,” both appeared on Love Original and helped solidify his standing.
Sustaining the partnership with Salatiel, Nsohburinka issued the 2018 single “On Se Connait Pas” ahead of his second album, Je Suis Désolé, which arrived in 2019. In addition to his own material, he has contributed guest vocals to tracks by Wax Dey, Flavour N'abania, Locko, Magasco, and numerous others. Working with producer Nyambi Edwin, he released the single “Time” in 2020.
