Leo Moracchioli (born 10 October 1978 in Ålgård) is a Norwegian musician. He is known for his metal Cover version of popular songs, which have gained him over 4.5 million followers on YouTube as Frog Leap Studios.
For each video, Moracchioli creates the arrangements, and plays all the instruments, except for a small number of songs in which he has collaborated with other instrumentalists; they often require at least 50 tracks. Although most of the videos feature only himself, and sometimes his family or a musical guest—sometimes a fellow YouTube artist participating remotely—for his video cover of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" he was joined by Drowning Pool guitarist C. J. Pierce. The video was filmed in a nightclub and included hired backup dancers.
He sometimes tours internationally with his band Frog Leap (studios). On 3 August 2019, he was at the 30th Anniversary of Wacken Open Air with the band.
The Frog Leap band members are Leo Moracchioli (vocals and guitar), Hannah Boulton (female vocals), Erik Torp (bass), Rabea Massaad (guitar), Truls Haugen (vocals and drums).
