Levitt AMP Valdosta Music Series – Leon Timbo

Singer/songwriter Leon Timbo was raised in Jacksonville, FL, to church parents — his father and mother are pastors. He began singing at 16 and playing guitar at 20, playing live locally and pursuing a career as a full-time musician. Timbo has a unique, rootsy sound that incorporates equal measures of vintage soul, gospel, folk, R&B, funk, dance music, and even modern blues in a style referred to by his producer as “transparent soul.” A seasoned, well-traveled musician, he is widely regarded as a protege of Tyrese Gibson and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Timbo counts Bill Withers, James Taylor, Andre Crouch, and Donny Hathaway among his influences.

The Levitt AMP Valdosta Music Series is supported in part by the Levitt Foundation, which partners with communities across America to activate underused public spaces through the power of free live music, creating welcome, inclusive destinations where people of all ages and backgrounds come together.
