Leo Napier is an American soul singer and blues pianist born to British parents. His vocal range and sharp, witty lyrics are deeply rooted in classic soul and R&B fused with Pop. During his short time in New York he became part of a burgeoning EDM underground scene, which led to collaborations with pioneering DJ/Producers Gramatik and Griz. Through the cultivation of these relationships, Leo brought several songs to each project; ultimately landing the lead singles on their 2015 and 2016 releases respectively. ‘A Fine Way to Die’ co-written and featuring Leo Napier was the lead single off Griz’s latest release ‘Say It Out Loud’, garnering millions streams to-date. In March of 2016, Gramatik released his full-length album ‘Epigram’, which includes the single “Native Son” featuring Leo and Wu Tang Clan’s Raekwon.  Leo is finally stepping into the spotlight as solo artist, lending a fresh and inimitable sound to the new wave in British singer-songwriter talent.

"Dime" - Leo Napier

Here's the lyrics to 'Before I Go', in their original form. 
The performance video is posted on mine and GRiZ' facebook pages.

I been feeling like my yesterday is gone
My braincells are functioning like Cheech & Chong
I been living present, future with no past
I think it's time to kick these drugs and do it fast...

But the music is the drug that brings content
It's a high I didn't buy, it was heaven sent 
I used to cry my blues for my fellow man
No I sing the blues but it's only cuz I can 

So that's why I'm gonna leave y'all, today
Sick and tired of being a lighting rod
A conductor for your pain
I don't sleep, no
I self medicate
But I'll sing one more song
Before I go Away

I been trying to make my mind up but I can't
Cuz when I'm high baby I can lie like a president 
And when I'm, I tell myself the pain ain't real
But without pain, the song I sing ain't got no feel

So I'm living present future, with no past 
And I ain't sure just how much longer I'm gonna last
But as long as I ain't dead I'll sing my song
And I'll sing it for you people til I'm gone 

And that's why I'm gonna leave y'all, today
Sick of being a lightning rod, a conductor for your pain
I don't sleep, no
I self medicate
But I'll sing one more song
Before I go away

"Don't Jump In" is the fifth single from Coachella performing, neo-soul talent Leo Napier’s debut EP. Born in the US but now a proud London Ladbroke Grove resident, you’ll recognise the versatile songwriter’s crisp vocals as featuring alongside Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon on Gramatik’s most successful single to date, Native Son. Chart topping dance act GRiZ’s electro-funk take on Before I Go Away was released by the DJ last year and has garnered millions of streams to date. This follows from their previous collaboration A Fine Way To Die which also has streams in the millions. The single from Leo’s EP ‘Mind Up’ (out Autumn 2017) premiered on Wonderland in June 2017 and has already picked up millions of Spotify streams. The EP is a collection of urban tales, a mix of classic funk/soul with hard hitting electronic rhythms produced by eclectic worldwide talents. The songs are gritty urban tales with a cast of colourful characters peppered with Leo's signature brand of dark humour. “I never planned to stick the 5 tunes together and call it an EP. But somehow these songs feel cohesive. It’s a controlled chaos. A web of funky anecdotes served up, not exactly on a silver platter, but more of a greasy plate, with a whole lot of hot sauce.” Leo Napier

Give It Back - Live performance audio

Leo Napier has become a "prominent voice in the electronic funk/soul arena" (Stereofox) since emerging from the New York EDM circuit in 2015.   Leo came on to the scene by contributing several songs to projects by pioneering DJ/producers GRiZ and Gramatik. He captured the attention of Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon, who features alongside Napier on Gramatik’s most successful single to date, “Native Son.” The stellar collaboration was followed by “Native Son (Prequel),” also written and performed by Leo. It went on to become the lead track off Gramatik’s full-length album, Epigram, released in 2016.

It’s been a busy year for Napier, who once again teamed up with GRiZ on the track “Before I Go.” Their previous collaboration “A Fine Way To Die” has garnered millions of streams to date. 

Leo is a musical chameleon. His voice and lyrical tendencies lend themselves to a variety of genres from folk, to hip-hop and Neo-soul.  His versatility and magnetic stage presence captivate audiences wherever he plays.

His upcoming record is in-keeping with recent collaborations within the EDM genre, a mix of classic funk/soul with hard hitting electronic rhythms. The songs are gritty urban tales with a cast of colourful characters peppered with Leo's signature brand of dark humour.
