SPOTIFY RADAR X LEON THOMAS
2025
Our seventh chapter of Spotify RADAR centers on Leon Thomas, whose roots in theater, production, and performance continue to shape his sound and perspective.
The set imagines a room as a portrait of Leon’s creative world. Draped fabrics, soft lighting, and layered textures create an environment that feels lived-in and reflective, a quiet counterpart to his musical precision and warmth.

Here, Leon performed “Just How You Are,” from his brand-new EP PHOLKS — a stripped-back rendition that is intimate, grounded, and self-assured.
In conversation, Leon reflected on his journey, from studying under Babyface to producing for Drake and Ariana Grande, to rediscovering his own voice through collaboration and live instrumentation.
