Leon "LeeBoy "Frierson was born in Anaheim and raised everywhere in Southern California, making pit stops in San Diego, Los Angeles, Ontario, and landing in Pomona. His talents were recognized at an early age when he used to dance and write rhymes at the age of 7 with heavy influence from Too Short, Eazy-E and MC Hammer. However, it was his acting career that took off and catapulted him into the entertainment industry. After doing a few small commercials, Leon earned a spot as the youngest cast member on All That of Nickelodeon by the age of 10 and become known for his signature character "Leroy" from Leroy and Fuzz. He completed three seasons alongside the most notable cast, including Kenan and Kel, Amanda Bynes, and Nick Cannon, all while becoming more and more inspired by meeting some of his favorite music artists that appeared as guests on the show.

As a teenager, Leon continued to act in movies, on television, and on stage with LA's infamous Amazing Grace Conservatory. There, he honed his skills in music and performance and used them to start Don't Get Clowned and Club Circus, which created a huge buzz in the Inland Empire after battling Tommy the Clown and other popular groups during the "Clown Dance" era. Two of his comrades in Club Circus, later known as Marvel the Gr8 and Sun Whoa, joined together to create The Circuit after realizing their shared passion to create music. Their discography includes mixtapes hosted by DJ K-Sly, Illroots and Mick Boogie. After internal conflict forced a split between The Circuit members, LeeBoy continued to make music as a solo artist, still keeping close ties with Marvel the Gr8 and the Random Citizens.

LeeBoy's renewed career as a solo artist started off with shows where he opened for N.O.R.E., The LOX, Soulja Boy and The Game with tons of local appearances in between. His style of rap is intricate, comedic, very melodic but most of all West Coast! After being called Pimpin' Ass Lee for years in the streets of Pomona, he took on the tag "S.L.A.P." (Something Like A Pimp) to define the next stage of his career in music. Check out his first single and video "Get It" featuring Marvel the Gr8 here. As a media personality, LeeBoy continues to incorporate his music through Instagram content, known for performing the intro music for his "LeeBoy and Fuzz" IG parody series.

Today, LeeBoy is using his platform to celebrate his family, career and blackness. As the creator of LeeBoyTV and BrotherLee Media, Leon is dedicated to developing content that is informative, yet light-hearted and entertaining. Support his content @LeeBoyTV on IG, YouTube and on the Prime Nostalgia Podcast, where he co-hosts alongside show creator Prime.
