Leon Else
From writing songs at age 12, to recording himself on a cassette player in his bedroom, to dancing and acting in school theater, the creative arts were never an option for Leon Else–they were his escape.
Music provided solace from family problems, mental depression, and the stigma that results from masking such issues with the "perfect lives, perfect little houses, perfect little bodies" we see on social media. The sense of raw, emotional vulnerability that comes with accepting a not-so-perfect reality is infused in all of Else's music, garnering major support for recent singles "Black Car" and "Dance."
