Spotlight Artist: Leo The Kind

Leo The Kind instantly sets himself apart. The Boston-born singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, moves to his own beat and gives the world some positivity with his own alternative R&B style. Discussing his name he explained, “I chose the name Leo The Kind, because my aim is to always be one-of-a-kind.” He continues, “When I tell most people I make music they assume I rap based off of my skin color, and then, when they hear my music, it comes as a complete shock. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but it does let me know that I am one of a kind. I want you to be inspired to explore, create and do something different. I want you to be reflective about how you’ve been and how you can be better. I just want you to be good.” 

“I wrote “Ain’t Nobody Gon’ Judge” when I first moved out of my parents’ house. That freedom I felt when I first moved out on my own and could do what I wanted without judgement was the first spark of inspiration. But women have it way harder than men, they are constantly judged. I wrote the song to speak to the women of the world for what they go through every day, wishing them freedom from judgement. While I can’t ever know what it is like to be a woman, I want to empathize as much as I can and say, “I see you, I won’t judge you.”
