Leon Bridges Talks 'SNL,' Grammy Chances & 'Totally Crazy' 2015
This Saturday, Leon Bridges will continue a breakout year by performing on Saturday Night Live on Dec. 5, two weeks after performing with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on the 2015 American Music Awards. For the neo-soul crooner, 2015 has been more than a year to remember: With a Top 10 debut for his first album Coming Home, an original song from Concussion vying for an Oscar nomination and a performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Bridges tells Fuse that SNL is yet another feather in his increasingly heavy cap.
“I’ve been handed so many great opportunities—the opportunity to write for the film, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Macklemore song, and now SNL,” he says. “It’s totally crazy. I remember we were waiting to see what was going to happen with [SNL], and we were able to get it right before the year ends. It’s cool that we’re going out with a bang.”
