Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ryan Leslie came up in Washington, D.C., where he grew up around music. He started writing and producing early, and by 2005 he had a debut single called 'Diamond Girl' that got him a deal with Universal Records. His self-titled album followed in 2006, featuring the song 'How It Was Supposed To Be,' which became a hit.
His sound pulls from R&B, hip-hop, and electronic music, often with a raw, introspective feel. Songs like 'Addiction' and 'Out Of The Blue' show that blend, with lyrics that lean into personal themes. In 2015, he had a legal dispute with Universal Records over creative and financial issues, which put a pause on his output for a while.
