Leon Dorn (*1999, Landsberg am Lech, Germany) is a session drummer living in Berlin, Germany.
Since the age of 4, he received lessons on drums and classical drums. After successfully playing different classical drumming competitions in Germany he decided to focus on drumset only at the age of 13. Next to taking lessons with various teachers and visiting workshops with drummers such as Anika Nilles, Benny Greb, Jost Nickel and Jojo Mayer he started studying drums at Berufsfachschule für Musik Mittelfranken in Dinkelsbuehl in 2017, where he took lessons with Claus Hessler. In 2019 he got accepted at Popakademie Mannheim, where he also studied drums.
In 2022 he got his first jobs as a session musician which developed pretty fast in becoming a full-time live drummer playing for various German pop/rock/hip-hop artists. This includes arena tours, numerous club tours and countless festivals. Currently, Leon is playing with Ayliva, Esther Graf, Kayef and Becks.
