From writing and producing on #1 albums with chart-breaking artists to starring on hit television series, GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and actor Leon Thomas has become a multi-hyphenate talent to watch in the entertainment industry. He has written and produced with the likes of Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Kehlani, J. Cole, Rick Ross, and more, and received a Grammy for writing credits on Babyface and Toni Braxton’s 2014 joint album Love, Marriage & Divorce. In 2021, Leon contributed his writing and production skills to Drake’s global chart-topping album Certified Lover Boy on “Pipe Down,” “Love All” [feat. JAY-Z], and “In the Bible” [feat. Lil Durk and Giveon].

Born in Brooklyn and raised by his vocalist mother, opera-singing grandfather, and stepfather who played guitar for B.B. King, Thomas’ musical career began early. He appeared as Young Simba on Broadway’s The Lion King at 10 years old, began working with Nickelodeon at 13–most notably starring in Victorious–and later appeared in the HBO series Insecure. In 2018, Leon released his debut EP Genesis to critical acclaim and earned a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2018 Soul Train Awards. In 2022, the burgeoning artist returned with new music under Ty Dolla $ign’s EZMNY Records, a joint venture with Motown Records. Leon’s latest singles “Breaking Point,” “Love Jones” [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] and “X-Rated” [feat. Benny The Butcher] pave the way for his highly anticipated Electric Dusk album.
