León Guallart: Comfort: Home Tour

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Leon Guallart Díaz is a multidisciplinary artist focused in film and music, currently based in Los Angeles.

His sound has been described as "a warm hug in the middle of a snowstorm." His current project, the Comfort: Home Tour, brings warmth and intimacy to iconic spaces around the world, designed by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Antoni Gaudí.

Comfort is Leon’s sophmore record, exclusively released on vinyl, and with the mission of creating a space of emotional security for adverse times. Leon’s journey took a transformative turn at the age of 20 when he retreated to a house near the ocean to heal from broken relationships and past conflicts. This process resulted in his 2021 debut album “UNO,” which weaves a tapestry of genres, including folk, electronic, orchestral, and choir music.

Written while living in a secluded stone house in the Pyrenees, the album reflects a journey toward inner peace and finding a sense of home. Blending experimental folk with cinematic elements, Comfort features delicate melodies, choral harmonies, and organic instrumentation, weaving a warm and immersive soundscape that invites listeners to pause and reflect.

With his upcoming project “comfort” Leon wants to create a space for emotional security in adverse times. It is set to be his most ambitious and innovative, yet sensitive to the current state of the world.

Leon has composed music for the Contemporary Ballet of Catalonia, and he is currently collaborating with SonyMusic on a Christmas-themed album. Leon has also won multiple international prizes for his films, in festivals such as LA Film Festival and the Chicago Indie Film Festival.
