Leon Thomas is having a career-defining moment, and he stopped by for a conversation about his incredible run. His latest album, MUTT, was named the Best R&B Album of 2024 by Billboard, and now, after months of fan love and industry recognition, it has finally landed on the Hot 100—another major milestone in his journey.

Of course, we had to talk about his Grammy win for producing SZA’s Snooze, a moment that solidified his place not just as a singer but as a powerhouse behind the scenes in R&B. When asked about future collaborations, he hinted at some dream pairings without giving too much away, leaving fans eager to see what’s next.

Beyond music, Thomas has roots in acting, and he shared his thoughts on what the future holds for him on-screen. With a background that includes Victorious and Insecure, he’s open to stepping back into that world in a bigger way.

To wrap things up, we had some fun imagining MUTT as a movie. When asked who would play the lead role, his answer was a perfect way to end the conversation.

Leon Thomas is just getting started, and with everything he’s accomplished so far, the best may still be ahead.
