As The Innovator of Syncopated Funk, LEO NOCENTELLI composed one of the most internationally noted, Grammy inducted songs for THE METERS, named, “CISSY STRUT” and is one of the most sampled guitarists of all time.

Leo Nocentelli is known as the “funkiest, fast-fingured” guitar player of today. Leo is the lead guitarist, composer, innovator, and originator of the syncopated funk sound that defined his musical creations work in THE METERS, who are also known as “The Pioneers of Funk”. As the major musical songwriter for THE METERS, and penning the song “CISSY STRUT” that has recognizably stood the test of time, Leo has been credited as one of the 50 top guitarists in the world of ALL TIMES.
