Discography 2 albums
Covers both Leon Thomas studio albums: Electric Dusk (2023) and Mutt (2024). The 2024 reissue Mutt Deluxe: Heel adds a second disc to Mutt rather than being a separate album, and the early mixtapes Metro Hearts (2012) and V1bes (2014) are outside this studio-album scope.

The Authorship Story
Data Insight
Thomas writes on all twenty-six tracks across both albums and produces a good share of them, which is what you would expect from someone whose reputation was built writing for other people before he released his own. Lazaro Andres Camejo, who works as Faxxonly, is the closest thing to a partner: he co-writes eight tracks on Mutt. The oddest credit in the catalogue is Diane Warren on 'Answer Your Phone', and the deepest cut is Donny Hathaway on 'Safe Place', which points to a sample rather than a session.
