Leo Scala was born in Belgrade Serbia and moved to Moscow to attend college. He studied chemical engineering, but soon realized this was not his true passion. Having played guitar since he was a teenager, Leo discovered what he really wanted to study was the craft of making guitars. After several years he formed his own guitar shop, Scala Guitars and received praise from professional performers. Leo later met Gary Kramer who wanted to hire him to run the Kramer Company with the hopes of having him take over the business one day.
