“When I first got into the music scene, I was inspired by different son...” — Leon Bridges Quote

“When I first got into the music scene, I was inspired by different songwriters. I like to dress from the '50s and '60s. I like to paint a picture of that era through my music and clothes. I am inspired by a whole a lot of things, from doo-wop to gospel and soul music.”

“I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.”

“I never really thought about my music being universal. When I set out to write, it was just a feeling that felt good to me. I never thought about being able to reach everybody.”

“I love the Victorian era, and I always have, but I had a leg up on the writing because I was familiar with a lot of the science from the Victorian era. And that led to a massive interest in the science of this time of history.”

“I have watched the movies of the 1980s on TV. At times, I feel that I should have lived in that era.”

“This is just the beginning of a new era for America's workers.”
