Leo Moracchioli Net Worth $3 Million

What is Leo Moracchioli’s net worth?

Leo Moracchioli is a Norwegian heavy metal singer who has a net worth of $3 million. He is best known for his YouTube channel, Frog Leap Studios.

Moracchioli was born in October 1978 in Norway.

He has not said much about his parents or upbringing.

Moracchioli first started playing the guitar when he was 14 years old.

He became a fan of heavy metal as a teenager and would play in local bands for fun, but according to Moracchioli himself, he never imagined that he’d be able to make a living from it.

”I’m a 70s kid, or I was born in the 70s, but I started getting into music in the 90s, so it was like my first band was Rage Against the Machine,” Leo told TC Electronic.

He was initially a preschool teacher before he began his channel.

His father is Italian, and his mother is Norwegian.

Career

As a young man, Moracchioli became a teaching assistant in a barnehage – the Norwegian equivalent of a kindergarten – and honed his acoustic guitar skills by playing songs for the children.

Moracchioli was, according to the general manager of his last barnehage, a well-liked employee who was popular with children and colleagues alike.

In 2011, Moracchioli’s daughter was born, and he decided that it was time to make a concerted effort to get his musical career off the ground.

He quit his job at the barnehage and began working on his music full-time.

YouTube Career

Moracchioli built a music studio at his home and started his YouTube channel as a way to promote his music, hoping to get gigs at weddings and parties.

He managed to earn a modest living from this for the next few years.

In 2013, Moracchioli uploaded a heavy-metal cover of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face to his YouTube channel.

He later recalled that he had covered the song just for fun, and was astonished when it became viral; the song quickly garnered more than one million views and made an overnight star of Moracchioli.

But it was with his cover of Adele’s Hello that Moracchioli became a true household name.

His 2015 cover of the popular British songstress’ hit sits at 70 million views as of August 2023, making it by far and away Moracchioli’s most popular video.

Moracchioli’s videos are characterized by their tongue-in-cheek approach to the source material, with deliberately overwrought performances and humorous asides found throughout.

He films most of the videos at home, though he has said that he sometimes uses a drone to capture footage outside for use in his videos.

Live Music Career

With the success of his YouTube channel, Moracchioli has begun to perform live with his band, Frog Leap.

The band generally sticks to the metal covers that made them famous in the first place, though sometimes they will perform original tracks.

Wife

Leo Moracchioli has been married and since divorced with Stine Moracchioli.

”Me and my wife are ready for heaven/hell birthday party tonight,” Moracchioli wrote on Instagram in October 2015. He added: ”Also playing some evil acoustic songs!”

”It’s kind of weird to talk about it on camera, but it was a mutual thing,” Leo said about his divorce in a video titled – Life Updates.

Children

The couple has a child.
