We had the good fortune of connecting with Don Leon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Don, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
I feel that remaining dedicated and focused on my dreams has graced me with the opportunity to become successful.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
To date I’ve been blessed to tour the world for 5 years; seeing a total 80 countries during this process. Each of these amazing places have left a special impact in my personal being that I’ve been fortunate to meet people from many different walks of life. I’ve learned to appreciate the simple things in life. Also D2AG has changed my life in a massive way as well. As a representation of this brand it’s taught me to embrace the accountability of constantly being the best version of myself. 10 years ago I dreamed that I’d travel the world playing Drums professionally and producing music. I’ve been blessed to live that dream out today and I’m continuing to do so while touring throughout the United States this year with The Mummy Cats and Cognate Souls!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
A few of the hangouts that I typically would enjoy would be to in lounges, comedy clubs, concerts, hole in the wall food spots, but mostly the studio. Most of these types of outings would be in the midtown area but there are also a few spots around town that are a bit more private and intimate. This would of course depend on one’s preference.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to give a major shoutout to God and my parents to begin, also to one of my closest friends the late great Courtney Girlie. This includes many other inspirations in my life including Evouski Cunnigham, Greg Wilson, Pedro Orey and many others. To date each of these individuals have played a significant role in the “molding process” of the man I’ve become today.
