Gulf Coast Guitar, Flyrods, and Heartfelt Lyrics

While Leon Majcen grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, he’s the son of Bosnian war refugees who fled their homeland in search of a better life for their children.

From a young age, Leon was drawn to the power of storytelling through music, particularly the work of artists like Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Bob Dylan, and Guy Clark.

He played local bars in high school, then went to school at NYU where he also played shows.

Then he made his way back to Florida to the commercial fishing docks and then made the jump to Nashville. 

Since arriving in Nashville, Leon has continued to develop his unique blend of Americana, folk, and country music, drawing on his experiences and his love of the outdoors to craft songs that are both poignant and powerful. 

With his heartfelt lyrics, soulful voice, and deft guitar work, Leon has built a strong following in Music City and beyond. 

He released his self-titled album is now out.. Loaded up with a guitar and a couple fly rods, Leon travels around the country sharing his songs and stories, looking for the next great fishing spot along the way.
