Paty and Leo first met at a music college in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2007 while pursuing their music degrees. After over a decade of working with some of Brazil's most influential bands and artists, they reunited for a concert in 2019. This event led to the creation of their project, Duet Paty & Leo, in 2020. Now, both personally and professionally connected, they are fully dedicated to their musical journey.

Duet Paty & Leo have performed across Europe, South America, and the US. Their versatility and engaging performances have earned them praise, invitations to prestigious events, and collaborations with renowned musicians worldwide.
