Leon Thomas

Leon George Thomas III (real name Amos Leon Thomas Jr.) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor from Brooklyn. He first worked professionally as a child actor on Broadway, appearing in major stage productions including The Lion King, Caroline, or Change, and The Color Purple during the 2000s. Those early credits placed him in large-scale musical theater settings before he became widely known on television.

Thomas gained wide recognition for his role as Andre Harris on Nickelodeon’s Victorious, which aired from 2010 to 2013. The series centered on students at a performing arts high school, and his character’s identity as a musician aligned with Thomas’s own work across singing, songwriting, and production. His visibility on Victorious helped introduce him to a broad audience and connected his acting career to his parallel development as a recording artist and behind-the-scenes music-maker.

Alongside his stage and screen work, Thomas has released music under variations of his name, including Leon G. Thomas III and A.L. Thomas, among other aliases. His recorded output has been associated with labels such as Motown Records and Ty Dolla Sign’s EZMNY Records, reflecting a professional path that spans both performance and production. In addition to his work as a vocalist, he is also credited as a musician and record producer, positioning him within contemporary R&B and pop contexts where artists frequently write and shape their own material.

Thomas’s career is defined by its range across entertainment disciplines. He moved from Broadway musicals in the 2000s to a prominent role on a mainstream television series in the early 2010s, while continuing to build a music career that includes songwriting and production as well as performing. He is also known by a number of alternate spellings and stage names, which appear across different releases and credits.
