He's a familiar face to many who live, work or simply shop in Glasgow.

Always dressed in bright clothing and with a smile on his face, Leo Mushet is the Silent Raver and can be spotted showing off his dance moves in the city centre.

Leo's viral videos have taken social media by storm as crowds of Glaswegians love to gather to watch him bust a move or two.

Glasgow Live was able to meet the man himself and find out why he loves to dance.

"I just love to dance, I always have. I used to do the same in Edinburgh on Princes Street and on buses and shopping centres," Leo said.

"People are sometimes negative and say nasty things - they say I'm a junkie or I'm a nut case but I'm not. It makes me think about stopping," he added.

"But then people say they love to see me dance, I don't want to stop so I never will. People can say what they want but I won't change."

The 46-year-old raises money through his dancing for several different charities.

One cause close to his heart is raising money for people fighting cancer as his sister died from Leukemia at just 12-years-old.

Leo was only a baby when Elizabeth died but all his charity work is done in her name.

Next year he plans to raise money for Cash for Kids by dancing and getting other musicians together on the streets of Glasgow.

You will sometimes spot Leo dancing to his own music or with his busker mates who are dotted around the city.

Paul Howie has been singing in the city centre for over a year and told Glasgow Live when Leo dances he always brings in a crowd for him.

Leo understands people see him as being 'different' but he believes no one should judge him before getting to know him.

He added: "I use to be a drug addict and I was homeless. But in 2005 I had a bad accident and was in a coma, it gave me a brain injury and I turned my life around after that.

"Dancing is just something I will always do, if it's a busy day in the city I will include children and old people and get them dancing along too.

"My favourite song is Party in the USA, but I always change the words to Party in Glasgow as that's what I love to do."
