Leon Bridges, a Grammy Award-winning recording artist and songwriter from Fort Worth, Texas, presents "Laredo," a track from the Philippines that falls under the Music/Other genre. Before his music career gained momentum, Bridges worked as a dishwasher and performed at open mic nights, having initially pursued a career in choreography, studying hip-hop, modern, ballet, and jazz dance at Tarrant County College. His early musical style, particularly on his debut album, drew comparisons to soul legends such as Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. His debut album, *Coming Home*, released in June 2015, debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 and received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, with the song "River" from that album later certified Platinum. His second album, *Good Thing*, released in May 2018, reached the Top Ten and garnered generally positive reviews, with "Bet Ain't Worth the Hand" from this album earning Bridges a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
