If you ask Tie The Thali what the song of Summer 2018 was, we would hands down say Kanne Kanne by Leon James featuring Jonita Gandhi. We first came across this song on YouTube after we noticed that it was trending – and let’s just say it as on repeat for several weeks (and possible still is). However, we have also been huge fans of Leon James’ albums that he’s created in the past few years. A few notable songs from his albums are Un Kadhal Irundhl Podhum – Kavalai Vendham, Kohlia – KO, 2, Kannama – KO, 2, and Verrattaama Veerratturiye – Veera.
Though you know Leon as an artist, how much do you really know about him? We put him to the test with a rapid fire interview to get to know Leon James on a fun level!
