He began his musical training at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm in 1986. Leoson joined the Royal Opera Orchestra as a percussionist in 1990 and was appointed solo timpanist in 1993. His career as a soloist followed his win of the Swedish Soloist Prize in 1995, which led to engagements with various European orchestras.
