Leopoldo is a man on a mission. Founder of the Sound of Art (SOA), Leopold is a tireless visionary who has virtually single-handedly changed the way many people imbibe, purchase and think about art. The Washington Heights native had his first taste of entrepreneurship at the tender age of 14 when he was given the immense responsibility of running the family business, the block bodega. It was here that he learned the importance of building relationships to further expand a business. This experience led directly to the pursuit and the acquiring of a marketing degree from Clark Atlanta University.

After college, Leopold started a lucrative art inspired t-shirt line. The success of the business made the young upstart realize the profitability of combining art and marketing. After college, Mr. Vasquez returned to NYC to put his natural acumen and his education to practice. In no time, he became an account executive at a small but influential Public Relations and Marketing firm with Fortune 500 clients. His stint there propelled him to venture out and start SOA.

Leopold's natural abilities as well as his experiences and training birthed the Sound of Art. It was an organic and natural process that created a company that has after several years of pounding the pavement and grinding has now gone viral. The Sound of Art is on the streets, in cyberspace, in newsstands – it is ubiquitous. The Sound of Art went from being a kernel in the mind of this tenacious out-of-the-box thinker to a company that has metastasized into a full-blown movement.
