Leon Cruz

Leon Cruz doesn't make music for the background. The San Francisco-based Filipino-American singer-songwriter has carved out his own lane in indie R&B-pop by being raw, deeply personal, and unapologetically queer. His sound goes places most artists won't. Tracks like "You," "Barefeet," and "Colorado Cherry" move through past love, growth, and fleeting moments with a nuance and intimacy that's rare.
