Leonard Kim Liao, commonly known as Leon Youngboy as well as Leonardo, is an Asian American artist who produces and perform Latin Freestyle. Although he is Asian American, he uses his latin influences and Asian culture to produce his music. His first single "Youngboys" featured Asian gang violence in his music video along with a club single remix by Jason Hernandez and Eddie Davis (from the famed Hanson and Davis team known for their latin freestyle hit "Hungry for Your Love") called "The SYB War mix" helped propel the single in the early 90's before the East Coast-West Coast gangster phenomenon. The song and video recently has resurfaced and was featured in the 30th Asian American International Film Festival.
