- Born in Seville and now living in Cologne, she brings Spanish fire and an international variety of styles to the stage. Influenced by Spanish sounds as a child through her Sevillian father Cipriano León and her love of soul music and black music through her German mother, her musical career began early:

First performances in the Cologne children's choir, guitar lessons at eleven, later frontwoman of a celebrated 1980s rock'n soul band in the Cologne club scene. She toured throughout Europe - with Spanish musician Tony Baez and Milly Vanilli drummer Micky Byron, among others - and worked in renowned recording studios where Diana Ross and Donna Summer were present. In the course of her career, she has met greats such as Beyoncé Knowles, Nina Hagen, Frank Elstner,Jeanette Biedermann and Karl-Heinz Kögel.

Since 2008, she has devoted herself to Spanish singing and combines smooth jazz, flamenco pop, soul, blues, Latin and soft rock to create her very own style. With her formation "Rosario Leon & Band" and the event music project LEÓNENTERTAINMENT, she delights a discerning audience with a chilled sound and stylish, international live music.
