Bio
In the eyes of many, music is something that one listens and dances to. But
for Leon Roberson Jr. a.k.a. LRJ, music is not only a career it’s a way
of life. For LRJ, that life began on the rugged Eastside of Houston, TX.
Throughout all of the adversities, LRJ attended the Art Institute of
Houston where he studied video production, audio engineering, and script
writing. LRJ graduated from the Art Institute of Houston in June of
1999.
In 1999, LRJ had a debut single entitled, Mentally Gentally Help Me Lord.
The single was available in retail stores through limited release and sold
out. In June of 2000, he released his second single T-E-X-A-S, which
received local airplay and also sold out. In 2002, under Cinque
Entertainment, LRJ released his debut album, Not of This World, which sold
over 2000 albums in local retail, Internet, and underground street sales.
Because of that album, LRJ received street credibility as well as
commercial success. LRJ then became a well-known writer, producer, and
radio DJ for Houston’s own 90.1 KPFT.
In 2003, LRJ began to receive airplay on national and college radio, which
nominated him for a performance at the world renowned SXSW Music Convention
in Austin, TX. LRJ performs at multiple venues throughout Texas, Louisiana,
Florida, California, etc. and maintains a solid fan base. In 2004 LRJ
released the hot selling CD entitled, The Hang Over, which sold over 5000
albums worldwide! Songs such as, “The Ole’ Hood” and “Say Whut?”
continue to receive radio play today! The Hang Over featured other artists
such as 3-time Houston Press Award winning group Drop Trio, E-Rock of the
5th Ward Boys, Slim LOC, Lil’Deezy, The Southern Gladiators, and more!
