ABOUT DUTS

Dustin (“Dut”) Leandro was born on Oahu and raised on the Windward side. He had a very active lifestyle, playing multiple sports growing up. He especially loved the water and was an avid surfer, boater and ﬁsherman.

Dut was the youngest of ﬁve children. His Dad was an entertainer so he was exposed to music at a young age. As a teenager he started his ﬁrst band and eventually became a touring musician playing along side many well known local musicians such as John Cruz, Led Kaapana and Jack Johnson. Later in his music career he toured across the nation, opening for world famous bands like Blink 182, The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones and even Maroon 5.

Another passion he acquired and still practices is his love for cooking. He started cooking in restaurants in high school and also during college in several well-known eateries.
Eventually, he changed careers and started his ﬁrst construction business in 1996 which he still runs today. His love for music, cooking and the water still remains a part of his busy life. Dut started his own annual fishing tournament and by chance met an OC16 producer. They brainstormed together and came up with the idea of “Dut’s Grindz & Goodtimes.”
