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 number two pop hit "Snooze," by the time he delivered Electric Dusk (2023) and the more carnal and rock-influenced Mutt (2024). The latter led to six Grammy nominations announced just before Thomas returned with an EP entitled Pholks (2025).
