Hailing from Austin, Texas, Terrence Léon is quietly reshaping the soundscape of modern R&B in Austin. With a voice steeped in soul and a pen that dives deep into vulnerability, Léon blends nostalgic ‘90s textures with sleek, forward-thinking production — a bridge between eras that feels both intimate and expansive.

Since his breakout single “24 Hrs” in 2020, which racked up over 100,000 on-demand streams, Léon has consistently delivered projects that feel less like releases and more like personal chapters. His EP New Horizons, produced with Tim Curry, was an early indicator of the emotional range and sonic curiosity that defines his work. From the moody introspection of LOADING… themixtape (2021) to the lush, sensual storytelling on AMOROUS (2024), Léon has made it clear that his artistry lives in the details — in the way a harmony hits, or a lyric lingers.

AMOROUS marked a major career milestone, debuting at #1 on the iTunes R&B chart — a testament to the project’s resonance and Léon’s growing impact in the genre. With tracks like “Etch A Sketch” and “More,” the EP captured the highs, lows, and complexities of love with cinematic finesse.

Drawing inspiration from the timeless sensuality of Marvin Gaye and the experimental edge of D’Angelo, Léon crafts music that speaks to the heart, yet challenges the genre’s boundaries. His latest release, PARTY FAVORS (2025), offers a kaleidoscope of moods — a confident step into a more expansive, genre-blending future.

But Terrence Léon is more than a voice — he’s a storyteller, a mood-setter, and a creative force that invites listeners to feel deeply. As the R&B landscape continues to evolve, Léon stands out not just for his sound, but for his soul.
