“My name is Leon Thomas, and I like to dance.”
Standing before what looked like a sold-out audience at The Depot last Thursday, R&B sensation Leon Thomas turned to the crowd to offer a brief introduction before launching into his performance. The succinct greeting was a reminder that, to many, Leon Thomas is not an artist needing an introduction. While the New York native has steadily gained traction online since the release of his debut album Electric Dust, he is no stranger to the spotlight. Thomas got his first start as Tyrone in Backyardigans, a familiar show to most kids who grew up in the 2000s. He then continued his tenure in children’s TV, playing a sentimental, loyal character named Andre Harris in Nickelodeon’s Victorious. Now, Leon is celebrating the release of his Grammy-clad album Mutt on tour, joined by fellow R&B singer Ambré.
