Influences: Leon has been most influenced by his grandfather who used to ask him to sing when he would visit his house. His mother paid for his musical instruction at great sacrifice to do so. They were very poor in the early years. At the recommendation of Wayland Hazel, Leon's music minister at First Baptist Church of Dimmitt, Leon did his first recording with Kokopelli Studio in Nashville, TN about six years ago. The studio is owned by Adam Hampton the keyboard player for Ronnie Milsap. The first three songs were done in Nashville in 2000. Over the years, Adam has produced 5 of Leon's 6 CD projects. Altogether Leon has written or co-written over 50 songs over the last 6 years. He is quick to say that the Lord gives him the songs... "Leon just writes them down".
