James Leo, a native of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, experienced a life-changing moment in 1970 when he encountered the music of Sam "Lightin" Hopkins. Inspired by the mastery and emotive power of Hopkins' blues, James decided to learn to play the guitar, attempting to echo the unique sounds and feelings produced by the acclaimed bluesman.
As he embarked on his musical journey, James expanded his influences to include Robert Johnson and Diango Reinhardt, the latter known for his contributions to gypsy jazz. Further enhancing his skills, he had the opportunity to study under the guidance of the late Danny Kalb and Frank Christian, both prominent figures in the Greenwich Village music scene.
