Leonardo Oliveira, better known by his stage name Leozin in Brazil’s vibrant trap music scene. Born on February 26, 2001, in São Paulo, the rapper blends energetic trap beats with melodic hip-hop and funk influences, creating a sound that resonates with Brazil’s urban youth.
While he might not command the massive numbers of commercial heavyweights like Matuê or Veigh, Leozin’s built something arguably more valuable which is genuine respect from peers and a devoted fanbase that connects with his lyrics and aesthetics. His hit “Chega de Falar de Ice” has racked up over 40 million Spotify streams, and his collaborative “Jordan Boyz” series with fellow rapper Dudu has become a touchstone in Brazilian trap.
Biography
Leonardo Oliveira was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil’s bustling cultural and economic capital. He’s currently 25 years old. Details about his family life remain mostly under wraps, though we know his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliveira, were supportive of his musical ambitions from the start. In a heartfelt Instagram post from February 2021, Leozin revealed that his father is his biggest inspiration in life.
Information about siblings? That’s kept private. Leozin completed his education in São Paulo before diving into music full-time, though the specific schools he attended haven’t been publicly disclosed. What we do know is that he was writing music and performing at small local events while still in school.
Career
Leozin’s story doesn’t start with streaming platforms or studio sessions. It begins in the gritty, competitive world of São Paulo’s freestyle battle rap scene. He cut his teeth at Batalha da Aldeia, a prominent MC battle circuit where quick wit and sharper bars determine who rises and who falls. Competing alongside rappers like Trunks, Krawk, and Thiago during the mid-2010s, Leozin developed the lyrical agility and stage presence that serves his recorded work.
The breakthrough moment? That came around 2015-2016 when he met Dudu at an event in Belo Horizonte. This connection would prove transformative for both artists.
By 2018, Leozin was releasing singles. Tracks like “Consequência” (which has accumulated over 4.3 million YouTube views) and “Lazer de Chefe” introduced listeners to his blend of trap production and melodic sensibilities. In 2019, everything changed.
“Chega de Falar de Ice” went viral on TikTok, sending Leozin from underground favorite to streaming phenomenon. What made the track special wasn’t just its infectious beat. It was the maturity of the lyrics, moving away from typical trap braggadocio about drugs and wealth to explore themes of regret and relationships. The song struck a chord, and it’s now sitting at over 40 million plays on Spotify alone.
That same year, Leozin and Dudu released their first collaborative EP, “Jordan Boy’z,” through Som Livre, one of Brazil’s major music labels. The chemistry between the two artists was undeniable.
Jordan Boyz Era
The “Jordan Boyz” series became Leozin’s signature project. In April 2020, “Jordan Boyz 2” dropped with production from Tibery, further cementing the duo’s reputation. 2021 was when things really peaked.
On his 20th birthday, Leozin released “Colapso,” a 17-track solo album. The same year saw “Jordan Boyz 3000,” an 11-track album with Dudu that pushed their sound into new territory. Combined, the Jordan Boyz series has generated over 70 million streams, a testament to the project’s staying power.
The collaborations didn’t stop there. Leozin’s worked with a who’s who of Brazilian hip-hop: Veigh, Nagalli, Derek, JayA Luuck, VK Mac, Thiago Kelbert, and Costa Gold. His feature on Derek’s “Trap de Fato Deluxe” in 2023 alongside heavyweights like Baco Exu do Blues, Yunk Vino, and MC Igu hit 1 million streams within three hours of release.
Leozin’s remained active through 2024 and into 2025, releasing singles like “Filho da Noite,” “Tira Minha Paz,” “Recebi um Chamado,” and “Liderança.” However, fans have noticed he hasn’t released a full solo album since “Colapso” in 2021. Some supporters speculate he’s been locked in the studio working on something major, but for now, it’s singles and features keeping his name in rotation.
His current Spotify profile shows approximately 232,500 monthly listeners and 292,334 followers. His catalog has generated over 200 million plays across all platforms. Top tracks include “Chega de Falar de Ice” (40.1 million plays), “Tudo Acaba” with Dudu (12.8 million), and “Call Me” featuring Yunk Vino and Volp (12.3 million).
Personal Life
The rapper isn’t married and hasn’t publicly confirmed any romantic relationships. He’s mentioned in interviews that he prefers keeping his private life separate from his music career, focusing his public energy on collaborations and releases rather than tabloid fodder.
Leozin’s digital footprint is substantial, even if his posting strategy is minimal:
- Instagram: @leozin (672,000 followers with just 17 posts)
- Twitter/X: @leozinnoficial (210,100 followers, over 5,500 posts since joining in October 2016)
- YouTube: Approximately 786,000 subscribers, serving as his primary platform for music videos
- Spotify: 232,500 monthly listeners with his “This Is Leozin” playlist garnering 11,700 saves
Interestingly, there’s no confirmed official TikTok account despite the platform being crucial for Brazilian music promotion. Considering “Chega de Falar de Ice” went viral on TikTok, this absence is notable.
Net Worth
Leozin’s net worth according to more detailed streaming analytics suggest his net worth is around $500,000.
Streaming revenue data shows dramatic recent growth: 2024 earnings hit approximately $890,300, a massive jump from just $16,000 in 2023 and $34,100 in 2022. The 2025 projection estimates $573,400 through partial year data. This volatility suggests either viral moments or strategic release timing significantly impact his income.
His revenue streams include music sales, streaming royalties from platforms like Spotify and YouTube, live performances, and potential brand partnerships (though no specific deals are publicly documented). As Brazilian trap continues growing, accounting for nearly a quarter of the country’s hip-hop streams, Leozin’s positioned to benefit from the rising tide.
Position in Brazilian Trap
Where does Leozin fit in Brazil’s competitive trap landscape? He occupies what industry observers call a “respected mid-tier position.” He’s not hitting the stratospheric numbers of genre leaders like Matuê, Veigh, MC Cabelinho, or L7NNON, but he maintains strong peer credibility and a cult following that values artistic integrity over chart dominance.
Critics and fans frequently compare his melodic approach to Yunk Vino. His inclusion on high-profile projects and the respect he commands from established artists suggest his influence exceeds his streaming numbers. Sometimes being the artist’s artist matters more than mainstream recognition.
