Pan Amsterdam is the musical persona of Leron Thomas, a Houston-born, New York based musical nomad whose music channels influences from hip hop’s golden age, alongside nods to artists like Kool Keith, Busta Rhymes, and MF Doom.

Throughout his career, he’s played alongside some of the most notorious names in the jazz world, including Roy Hargrove, Billy Harper, Charles T Olliver and Bobby Watson and outside of the genre, his résumé is equally impressive, encompassing in-studio and on-stage collaborations with the likes of Mos Def, Bilal, Guts, Iggy Pop, Metronomy, GUTS, Kanye West and Lauryn Hill.
