Urban Grandstand Digital Issue 11: Divine Brown | Page 103

A lot of people strive hard in this industry and don’t get the opportunity to release something on this platform. It’s been a big blessing, and I feel blessed for the opportunity. Things are different though.

Urban Grandstand Digital: I think it’s good. Your response says how much you love this. So many artists are fascinated with sales, and obviously that’s a big part of everything, but your goal has been to expand your platform and get your music out. That speaks volumes in comparison to how most people think. Tell me about the tour with Peter Jackson?

Leondro: To go on tour with Peter Jackson is great. I’m not going to shy away from the truth. Peter puts in a lot of work, and while we haven’t spoken personally, he’s well respected. He’s brought a lot of artists to the city. A lot of artists look for the opportunity to be on his shows, and that was my goal. He’s pretty dope. To have this opportunity when things are different, and to be on tour, it’s a blessing and a reality check as to where we are with music. I’m excited for this tour and being able to spread what the GTA can do.

Urban Grandstand Digital: This tour speaks volumes of both of you and your character. There’s so much unity it seems. I think a lot of artists can learn a lesson from you. Now the tour started November 10th. How can everybody keep up with it all, and you as well?

Leondro: I’m at Leondromusic.com, and they can see the dates. We got the east coast now, west coast next, and we have a few other things brewing.

Urban Grandstand Digital: Any type of final thoughts, words of encouragement?

Leondro: I live by faith in self, and faith in God. With those things, everybody is unstoppable. Live your life the best way you can and do the right things. It doesn’t always happen in our timing. If you really want it, remain patient and keep at it.
