Born and raised in the UK, singer, rapper, and producer – VAS LEON grew up listening to the likes of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. From a young age, VAS learned to play several instruments, and as a teenager found a profound connection and love for poetry. This inevitably lead to the spark that was to ignite his musical career. After his time in university, VAS made the decision to peruse his music career at full force – fast gaining media exposure that lead to sharing stages with the likes of Stormzy, Sway, JME, Bluey Robinson, Fuse ODG, Che Lingo, Kojey Radical, WSTRN and Ms Dynamite. From here VAS strengthened his graft and went on to being featured on Nike as well as gain commercial success working with brands such as ShakeTastic, Ultimate Ears, & later Offspring, Patta, Nike and Converse. Whilst working with Arthur, VAS went on to travel with him taking his musical journey to the next level. VAS then shared the stage with the likes of DJ Fresh and Ella Eyre whilst touring supporting Grammy award winning Fat Boy Slim at venues such as the Brixton o2 and The Warehouse Project Festival, gaining further exposure and momentum. With “Plan Joy” the unique sound of his voice and flow carries you through from start to finish, in what is nothing less than a beautiful and thought provoking work of art. Before release, due to its anticipation, VAS received over 100K plays on Spotify alone for the singles leading to it going live. Although a project like no other, this too has a ‘message’ as always. This release of honesty along with catchy hooks and punchlines will captivate your emotions on every level, whether happy or sad, but leave you feeling liberated at the end of the journey. VAS LEON has truly come into his own and honed in on his craft and creative talents. He brings his own unheard of transatlantic flare to the urban and pop music industry with a unique cadence that is adaptive to every mood. VAS LEON is truly a storyteller in a class of his own!
