León’s new album, Colmillo de Leche, continues to receive widespread critical praise since its release this past May. Upon release, León became the only Latin and Regional Mexican artist to reach the top 10 in global sales on Spotify. The 18-track record spanns various musical genres, showcasing León’s maturity and versatility as an artist. Colmillo de Leche also features collaborations with internationally renowned artists such as Camilo on “Ni Me Debes Ni Te Debo,” Pablo Alborán on “Piedra Papel” and Angela Aguilar on “Vete Yendo.”
“Colmillo de Leche is one of the most important projects I’ve done throughout my career,” recalls León. “I get to show feelings and dabble in styles that I had not dared to before. Always keeping the Regional Mexican sound as the soul of the album, but fused with flamenco, a bit of salsa, country, American folklore, blues and soul. All the genres that have shaped me as an artist and as a person. Being able to mix it all together on one record is something very refreshing, both personally and for the Regional Mexican genre.”
Originally from Hermosillo, which is located in the center of the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora, León was raised in a family where music was always present. León embarked on his musical journey at the age of 15, taking his first steps by learning to play the guitar and developing skills in singing and songwriting. In 2018, León released his debut album, Desvelada con Banda y Mariachi, which propelled him to quickly dominate the Regional Mexican music scene as a performer, singer and songwriter. From there, León collaborated with internationally renowned artists such as the Spanish rapper C. Tangana on the song “¡CAMBIA!,” the Mexican pop group Matisse on “Como Lo Hice Yo” and the Venezuelan pop/reggaeton duo Mau y Ricky on “Llorar y Llorar” as well as writing hits for various Regional Mexican stars like Los Plebes del Rancho and El Fantasma.
In 2021, León became the first Regional Mexican artist to participate in the Spotify Singles series and he teamed up with country music star Walker Hayes for a Spanglish version of “Fancy Like” for Amazon Music Latin’s “La Cultura That Connects Us” campaign. In the same year, his album INÉDITO debuted atop the Apple Music charts, reaching #1 on the Mexican Music chart and #3 on the Latin Music chart. INÉDITO was named one of Billboard’s 25 Best Latin Albums of 2021 and León also took part in the “Regional No More—Mexican Music Goes Global” panel as part of Billboard Latin Music Week.
Throughout his young career León has received countless nominations and multiple awards, including an ASCAP Award for the song “Me La Aventé” as well as numerous Premio Lo Nuestro Awards (“Regional Mexican Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Male Artist” and “Banda Song of the Year”). In addition, León won his first Latin Grammy for “Best Regional Mexican Song” in 2022 for the song “Como lo Hice Yo,” which was released in collaboration with Mexican pop group Matisse.
