By the time he was in high school he had written hundreds of poems, and won countless poetry competitions. He first started experimenting with beat production when he was 15 and by the time he was 18 and out of school he was already producing his own music. By the time he was 21, he had released several tapes that all received positive feedback. He took a break from music for a few years after his child was born, but never stopped altogether. He eventually came back, Hungry, and ready for a challenge. He began entering beat battles, promoting, doing physical/ and digital artwork for both himself and others all while juggling several different projects at a time. He is now in the process of assembling his first full length album: release date TBA.

His music can best be described as and eclectic mix of various different influences built on top of a strong Hip Hop foundation. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, LeBeau tries to increase the dynamic between audience and author by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations. LeBeau creates situations in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function. By applying specific combinations and certain manipulations, different functions and/or contexts are created. His music generates diverse meanings and Associations that collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image. His work creates dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. With the use of appropriated materials which are borrowed from a day-to-day context, he wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images.

By investigating language on a meta-level, he tries to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria which incite the viewer to make new personal associations. It urges us to renegotiate art as being part of a reactive or – at times – autistic medium, commenting on oppressing themes in our contemporary society. By putting the viewer on the wrong track, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies.

His music opens up a unique poetic vein. Multi-layered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. By examining the ambiguity and origination via retakes and variations, he creates with daily, recognizable elements, an unprecedented situation in which the viewer is confronted with the conditioning of his own perception and has to reconsider his biased position. Focusing on the inability of communication which is used to visualize reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. Words are dissociated from their original meaning, by which the system in which they normally function is exposed. Initially unambiguous meanings are shattered and disseminate endlessly.

By experimenting with aleatoric processes, he uses references and ideas that are so integrated into the process of the composition of the work that they may escape those who do not take the time to explore how and why these images haunt you, like a good film, long after you’ve seen them. He demonstrates how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between Self and Other, between our own ‘cannibal’ and ‘civilized’ selves. With Plato’s allegory of the cave in mind, he wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. The listener should be able to find their own story within the context of the portrait being painted. His music is often classified as part of the new romantic movement where he attempts to evoke an emotional response, and in turn, an emotional connection with his fans. He uses a visual vocabulary that paints an elaborate picture to allow you to fall into the music as if it were a daydream, incorporating time as well as space – a sometimes fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.
