PATRICK LEAVY

Patrick Leavy is a young Miami-based bassist and educator. Growing up in New York, he has participated in programs such as Manhattan School of Music Precollege and The New York Youth Symphony, where he was able to develop his bass playing early on. During this time he also studied with the great Ben Wolfe, giving him a deep understanding of the bass tradition. In 2018, Patrick left NY to attend the Frost School of Music at University of Miami. He graduated in 2022 with his bachelor’s in jazz performance and in 2024 he finished his master’s in jazz pedagogy as a teaching assistant for Dr. Charles Bergeron. Using his voice as a bass player to be both a sideman, leader, and educator, Patrick looks forward to a bright future in music.
