iSouth Artist to Watch: Leon Timbo

Leon Timbo ft. R.Kelly  - Don't Call (Remix)

When Leon Timbo went to perform at Bishop T.D. Jakes’ The Potter’s Church in 2008, he hoped to change people’s lives with his uplifting music, but his live was changed when he was met backstage by Tyrese. Timbo opened for Tyrese at the House of Blues in Dallas, and went on to create music with Tyrese, Quincy Jones and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds to R. Kelly and Diddy. Timbo taps into a deep emotional connection on “Don’t Call,” which details the type of help a loved one provides by simply being there for their friend. “It’s a reflection of something that I missed personally and that I think, as a principle, we’ve missed,” he says. “We’ve missed someone being there for us without an agenda, someone loving us because they love us.” In 2010, while recording Transformer 3, Tyrese recorded Leon Timbo and R. Kelly playing around in an acoustic set. This not only displays while R. Kelly is the king but also sets the ground this incredible remix. Leon Timbo is the singer/songwriter to watch.
