Leon Thomas

Leon Thomas makes narcotizing progressive R&B as a solo artist and is an all-around collaborator with a Grammy to show for it. The soulful singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist got his start as an actor on Broadway and in Hollywood. His role on Nickelodeon's Victorious gave rise to his first commercial recordings and credits on the chart-topping album debut by co-star Ariana Grande. Three mixtapes and an EP issued from 2012 through 2018 established Thomas as a solo artist while he clocked studio time with the likes of Toni Braxton and Babyface, Kehlani, and Post Malone. He earned a Grammy nomination as co-writer of Rick Ross' "Gold Roses," and subsequently won the Best R&B Song award for SZA's pop hit "Snooze," by the time he delivered Electric Dusk (2023) and Mutt (2024). The latter led to six Grammy nominations announced just before Thomas issued the EP Pholks (2025).
