Lucas Leon hails from Gallatin, Tennessee, just 30 minutes north of Nashville aka “Music City.” In a town full of transplants, he’s what we call “born and bred.” The singer-songwriter began playing piano at six years old and picked up the guitar shortly after. “The first song I learned on guitar was Chris Stapleton’s ‘Millionaire,’” says Leon, “and from there I was hooked.” It didn’t take long for Music Row to take notice, and soon a serious songwriter emerged. Honing his craft with some of Nashville’s finest, he’s penned well over a hundred songs in the last two years. Reminiscent of a young Taylor Swift, he has drive, talent and determination. And like Taylor, is seriously likeable. On the vocal front, Leon has been compared to Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan, but his musicianship truly sets him apart. Equally as inspired by a great guitar lick as he is a great lyric, one can’t help but see a young Keith Urban or John Mayer emerging. Growing up on a mix of country and blues, it’s not hard to hear a little Ray Charles making his way into the mix too. Leon lives and breathes music, and his work ethic matches his determination. While Leon easily fits into the current Americana/Country landscape, his goal is to outlive any current trend and truly bring a style that can go the distance. He knows it takes laser-focus, “There is no ‘Plan-B,” Leon says, and he means it.
