It’s easier than ever for music fans to find and listen to music, but it’s also harder than ever for the people making that music to make a living. Leaf allows fans to discover new music and musicians to understand and monetise those fans.

CEO Gilbert Corrales says that the move to North East England and taking part in Northern Stars 2015 were two of the best decisions they’ve made so far in their company’s life.
