LEONOIR
Born Omar Charroud Oukharraz in 1997 in Spain, LEONOIR
is a boundary-pushing DJ and music producer with deep
Moroccan roots. Growing up across Europe—Spain, Italy,
Belgium, and the Netherlands— he's infused his music with
an eclectic mix of cultures, making his sound as global as
his experiences. Now based in Antwerp, Belgium, LEONOIR
is a rising force in the Afro house and Afro tech scenes.
Starting his musical adventure in Milan in 2012, LEONOIR's
early experiments in EDM for local parties and friends laid
the groundwork for his unique style. Fast forward to
September 2023, Omar rebranded as LEONOIR, signaling a
bold transformation in his artistic identity. Embracing the
rhythmic energy of Afro house and the groove-driven vibes
of Afro tech, he’s creating a signature sound that reflects
both his heritage and his travels.
LEONOIR’s tracks are a masterclass in fusion combining
African-inspired beats with deep, electronic undertones,
his music pulses with life and movement. It’s a sound that’s
as personal as it is universal, rooted in tradition but
pushing forward with fresh, modern flair.
