I'm not trying to compete with any other revival soul acts. It's just Leon Bridges, a kid from Fort Worth trying to be himself and give people hope. It's great music to dance to and just love. Leon Bridges actbridgecompete Change image and share on social
I like to wear short-sleeved collared shirts and high-waist trousers with shiny shoes. And at night, when I'm playing, I'll often wear suits. But it started with my uncle's vintage clothes. Leon Bridges clothecollarehigh Change image and share on social
It's kind of weird - I get shy when I'm around new people, still, even when I'm onstage. I come from not really wanting to be in lights or known or in front of people. Leon Bridges frontkindlight Change image and share on social
In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound. Leon Bridges beginclassicinspire Change image and share on social
I knew I had a gift. I wanted the world to hear my music, and I wanted it to be my career, but I didn't know how to go about it. Leon Bridges careergifthear Change image and share on social
I believe that gospel is more than just a sound, it's a way of life. I don't really have any shame to talk about spirituality in my music. A lot of your favorite soul songs started out in gospel. Leon Bridges favoritegospellife Change image and share on social
When I first got into the music scene, I was inspired by different songwriters. I like to dress from the '50s and '60s. I like to paint a picture of that era through my music and clothes. I am inspired by a whole a lot of things, from doo-wop to gospel and soul music. Leon Bridges 50s60sclothe share on social
I got tired of depending on other people, and I had this strong desire to make music of my own. I decided to start writing my own tunes and just see what could happen. Leon Bridges decidedependdesire Change image and share on social
There are a lot of bands who would get really big in Fort Worth and play shows on a Friday night that everybody would come out to. But I've never been really big in my hometown. My shows would have 10 or 15 people at them. Leon Bridges bandbigfort share on social
