Artist Out Of Memphis Tn









With nearly 10,000 plays on Soundcloud and over 2,000 views on YouTube, it’s safe to say that Leon (born Samuel Leon Martin) is on his way up. Although youth is sometimes wasted on the young, at just 21, Leon is the type of artist who never misses a learning opportunity, never backs down from a challenge and never says never. He attributes his passion and his unwavering ambition to two things—his first love, music, and his life growing up in the “slums” of South Memphis, for which his first single is titled. Leon inherited his gift for music from his father, an accomplished organist and composer, and his mother, a seasoned vocalist and all-around musician.

But for Leon, it all began on the drums. From there, his trek with music led to the launch of his career as a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer. His disposition is relaxed and humble, but his sound is bold and pronounced, and it’s not to be taken at face value. The way he sings and raps is a component of his sound that pre-dates him, done before by artists such as Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot and Andre 3000. Although Leon was born and raised in Memphis, he says his sound is heavily influenced by West Coast rapper, singer, songwriter and producer Ty Dolla $ign.
