Leon Thomas III: Just How You Are
Music performance, interview, and photography
For Leon Thomas’s Spotify Radar performance, I art directed Sheet Music in Green, a tactile ode to early performance that turns the theatrical curtain into both setting and memory.
Inspired by Leon’s Broadway roots, the room was fully draped in green fabric, its unkempt elegance echoing the improvisational rhythm of his music. Working with Grand Crew, the production designer, photographer, and director Geoff Levy, we built a space that felt lush, intimate, and deeply remembered.
