Who Am I
Leon Weber is a German multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Berlin. He first gained international attention in the early 2010s under the alias LCAW through viral remixes for artists including Daughter, London Grammar, Parov Stelar and Herbert Grönemeyer. At 19, he signed with Columbia Records, followed by releases and collaborations with artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, WhoMadeWho and Martin Kelly, alongside remixes by RAC, Matthew Herbert and KDA, among others. In 2014, Musikexpress named LCAW “Best Upcoming DJ.”
Drawing on electronic music, contemporary composition and orchestral writing, Weber has developed a distinctive musical language that resists conventional categorisation. His sensitivity to narrative and atmosphere has increasingly led his work toward film, where he creates scores that move fluidly between acoustic and electronic sound worlds.
Weber made his film-scoring debut with Viv Li’s short film A Soil A Culture A River A People, which premiered at the 82nd Venice Film Festival in 2025. His collaboration with Li continued with her feature debut Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest, which premiered at the 76th Berlinale in 2026.
Also premiering at the 76th Berlinale in 2026 was Where To?, directed by Assaf Machnes, featuring music by Weber.
With two films premiering at the same edition, the 76th Berlinale marked a significant milestone in Weber’s emerging film composing career.
