With his warm voice and charismatic presence, Tony winner Leslie Odom, Jr. has parlayed roles in the original cast of Broadway's Hamilton and NBC's Smash into film roles and a successful recording career as a solo artist. He topped the Billboard jazz chart in 2016 with his graceful, nuanced performances of a diverse set of covers for his self-titled debut. His first album of original material, Mr, saw release in 2019. Odom offered up his second Christmas album, garnered two Oscar nominations for One Night in Miami (supporting actor and the song "Speak Now"), appeared in films including Glass Onion, and returned to Broadway in a revival of Ossie Davis' Purlie Victorious Judson before releasing his second set of original songs, When a Crooner Dies, in 2023.
