Leon Thomas

Leon Thomas III is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor who has successfully transitioned from a child actor on Nickelodeon to an acclaimed behind-the-scenes force in contemporary R&B and pop music. Born on August 1, 1993, in Brooklyn, New York, Thomas showed exceptional musical talent from an early age and made his Broadway debut at age ten in the Tony Award-winning musical “The Lion King,” followed by a role in the original cast of “The Color Purple.”

Thomas gained widespread recognition as Andre Harris on the hit Nickelodeon series “Victorious” (2010-2013), where he starred alongside Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, and Elizabeth Gillies. On the show, he showcased both his acting and musical abilities, and his work behind the scenes as a songwriter and producer began during this period. After the show ended, Thomas shifted his focus toward music production and songwriting, collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry.

As a songwriter and producer, Leon Thomas has worked with artists including Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Ty Dolla Sign, and Kehlani. One of his most notable credits is co-writing and co-producing “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar featuring H.E.R., which became a massive hit and earned a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance in 2019. This behind-the-scenes success established him as one of the most sought-after young creatives in R&B and pop music.

With an estimated net worth of $3 million, Thomas has built his wealth through a combination of acting residuals from his Nickelodeon career, songwriting royalties, production credits, and his own music releases. He has released several solo projects showcasing his smooth R&B vocals and production skills, and continues to grow both as a solo artist and as a producer for other major artists in the industry.
