In a move that showcases her ability to merge stunning visuals with her musical talent, Leo Wood performed her track ‘Venus’ live in Morocco’s Paradise Valley, a setting that perfectly complements the song’s otherworldly vibe. The track, a collaborative effort with Alpha Rhythm from their debut album ‘The Planets,’ has enjoyed significant online success, prompting this unique live rendition. Wood’s musical style, known for its deep emotional resonance, big hooks, and an ethereal flow, has made her a beloved figure, to say the least. Her work transcends genre boundaries and has led to signings on labels like Anjuna Deep, Defected, and Hospital Records.
Wood’s approach to music video production is unconventional; she opts to record in remote, breathtaking natural landscapes, offering a visually rich context. This strategy showcases her adventurous spirit and distinguishes her in the dance music scene, particularly as a woman in a predominantly male-dominated field. Her latest endeavor in Morocco involved a significant effort, carrying equipment to a remote canyon location for a live performance that was both intimate and grand.
Describing the experience, Wood highlighted the use of samples and trigger machines for improvisation, the logistical challenges of filming in such a remote location, and the inspirational effect of the environment on her performance. The result is a captivating video that reflects the song’s themes of overcoming challenges and the majesty of nature. See for yourself below.
