Leon Thomas is a contemporary R&B and neo-soul singer whose catalog also runs through jazz, vocal jazz and free jazz. He arrived as a solo artist on a Wiz Khalifa collaboration, Hello How Are You, then spent most of the following decade on mixtapes and an EP before he finally put out a debut studio album, Electric Dusk. The album that followed it, MUTT, took him onto the Billboard 200 for the first time, his first solo appearance on that chart. He records for EZMNY Records and Motown Records.
He came out of East St. Louis. That is a soul and blues town, and the range in his work reflects it. Blues and the Soulful Truth sits on one side of his discography and the free jazz and vocal jazz sessions on another, and the R&B he makes now carries both. The long stretch of mixtapes before his debut album was not idling. It was a singer building a voice in public.
His credits include work with Santana and with The Leon Thomas Blues Band. He has brought material from Electric Dusk and MUTT to programming tied to The Ford's concert series, and his stage history runs from Auckland Town Hall to Rogers Stadium, with club rooms like Time Nightclub in between. That mix, a charting R&B record and a performer comfortable in a theater, a festival field or a nightclub, makes him a strong fit for college programming, corporate events, festival and fair lineups, casinos and private engagements.
