Leon Thomas, whose sophomore album “Mutt” was one of the biggest R&B projects of 2024, just nabbed six Grammy nominations, the third-most nods for any artist for the 2026 ceremony. HuffPost republished this December 2024 profile of the singer-songwriter.
At the end of the summer 2024, Leon Thomas realized he had a minor dilemma on his hands. After months of writing, recording and fine-tuning his lofty sophomore album, “Mutt,” the singer-producer was finally ready to unveil what he’d cooked up in the studio.
But he had only a month to promote it.
“I didn’t have a lot of time,” Thomas, 32, told HuffPost.
With the clock ticking, Thomas came up with a simple yet effective solution to spread the word about “Mutt”: He released the album’s titular track as its lead single, so anyone who heard it would know where to find more.
