Leone di Lernia (18 April 1938 – 28 February 2017) was an Italian radio host, singer, and composer of the genre trash-demented.
He gained popularity in early nineties, thanks to the cover of parodic goliardic and often scurrilous songs of dance music.
Born in Trani, a city in province of Bari, at 30 years old he recorded his first single, Trenta chili/Andiamo nei cieli.
In the 1990s, the popularity finally arrived at the national level through participation in the program at Radio Monte Carlo "Fausto Terenzi Show" along with Fausto Terenzi and Paolo Dini and the two discs in the series Barhouse in which to be reinterpreted in his usual mix are the dancefloor hits of the moment.
Leone, in addition to broadcast his songs, he also performs in skits spoken, making many of its catchphrases true exclamations.
