What does it take to balance the artistry of music with the business side of the industry? Multi-talented artist Leon Thomas joins us to share his journey, from the exhilarating highs of performing at his first Roots Picnic to the challenges of a Broadway performance while ill. Hear his insights on blending generations of R&B talent at the "Recipe for the Change of the State of R&B" event, and the essential role of goal orientation and teamwork in harmonizing creative and business pursuits. 

Leon recounts a chance encounter at a red light that sparked a dynamic collaboration with Ty and Sean Baron under the Motown imprint, Easy Money. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at producing for other artists like Bryson Tiller, the hurdles of working abroad, and the importance of maintaining an abundance mindset. With a musical heritage rich in collaborations with icons like Babyface, Leon offers a unique perspective on the significance of sharing creative ideas and the journey from producer to solo artist.

In an exciting preview of his upcoming album "Mutt," Leon draws fascinating parallels between dog training and relationship dynamics, offering a fresh take on personal growth and control. With stories about his chemistry with long-time bandmates, the constraints and freedoms of live performances, and a heartfelt connection with his German Shepherd-Husky mix, this episode is a deep dive into Leon's creative world. We also spotlight an electrifying collaboration with director Haji from August, underscoring the power of creative synergy. Join us for a candid conversation filled with reflections on personal growth, legendary influences, and the thrill of anticipating future projects.
