Grammy-winning Brooklyn native Leon Thomas seamlessly bridges the worlds of music, acting, and production. Signed to Ty Dolla $ign’s EZMNY Records in 2022, Thomas made a notable debut with his album Electric Dusk (2023), featuring collaborations with Victoria Monét, Benny the Butcher, and Ty Dolla $ign. Tracks like “Breaking Point” and “Crash & Burn” have garnered over 151 million global streams, cementing his place as a rising star in contemporary R&B. His groundbreaking work on SZA’s “Snooze” earned him a Grammy in 2024, further highlighting his influence in shaping the genre.

Thomas’s sophomore album, MUTT, was named Billboard’s No. 1 R&B Album of 2024 and held the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul chart for multiple weeks. The album, with over 315.7 million streams globally, also debuted in the top 10 worldwide on Apple Music and earned spots on Revolt, HuffPost, UPROXX, and more Best Albums and Best Songs of 2024 lists. Its breakout title track, “MUTT,” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart, Adult R&B Airplay chart, Urban Radio, and the UK R&B Singles Chart, while reaching No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single is now officially RIAA Certified Platinum. With standout tracks like “Far Fetched” ft. Ty Dolla $ign, “MUTT,” “Vibes Don’t Lie,” and “Yes It Is,” the album delves into the complexities of love and ambition. Featuring collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Wale, Baby Rose, and Masego, MUTT underscores Thomas’s ability to push the boundaries of modern R&B. In May 2025, he released MUTT Deluxe: HEEL, a bold continuation of his sophomore album via EZMNY/Motown Records. Digging deeper into his sonic universe, HEEL delivers a fearless blend of psychedelic R&B, rock textures, and soul, with new collaborations from Kehlani, Big Sean, and Halle. Where MUTT explored duality, HEEL bares its teeth, honing in on themes of singlehood, connection, and self-exposure with tightly crafted compositions and distinct creative clarity. Thomas’s TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert showcased his undeniable musicality, while his viral NPR Tiny Desk performance, which peaked at No. 2 on YouTube, further cemented his global cultural influence. Named Billboard’s Chartbreaker and MTV PUSH’s Artist of the Month in March 2025, Thomas also covered Billboard’s September Hip-Hop/R&B Power Players issue and was awarded Billboard’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year. He delivered a standout performance of “NOT FAIR” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before going on to win Best New Artist at the 2025 BET Awards and announced his MUTTS DON’T HEEL World Tour, which completely sold out across the U.S. Beyond music, Thomas has made notable appearances on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and HBO’s Insecure.
