Send us a text🎙️ New Episode Alert! 🎙️(Full Episode)Interview by: Elmo ChongLeroy Sanchez is a name millions first came to know through soul-stirring YouTube covers. But what started as a teen uploading videos from his bedroom in Spain has evolved into a career marked by heartfelt songwriting, powerful vocals, and a global fanbase. 🎤🌍Now, after years of anticipation, Leroy is releasing his debut full-length album, Sorry for the Chaos, dropping April 4th. On the latest episode of the Sonical.ly Podcast, we sit down to talk about the highs, lows, and everything in between on his journey from viral videos to artistic independence.🎙️ In this inspiring conversation, Leroy shares:🔹 How uploading covers as a kid in Spain kickstarted his journey into music🔹 The painful wait to release original songs while under contract with a major label🔹 Why he threw out an entire album before starting over with Sorry for the Chaos🔹 What the title track—and the chaotic emotional arc of the album—really means🔹 The tension between viral fame and building a real community🔹 How he’s stayed grounded over 18 years in the game🔹 His advice to aspiring music creators and his thoughts on being independent vs. signedKey takeaways from Leroy’s journey:If it’s not the right album, scrap it. Leroy had an entire album completed—then scrapped it when it didn’t feel right. Sorry for the Chaos was born from starting over and trusting his gut.Major label deals don’t guarantee support. After getting shelved by his label, Leroy relied on YouTube covers to stay connected to fans. He couldn’t release original music for years. His message? “It’s not about being signed or indie—it’s about who’s on your team.”You can’t fake the ‘why.’ His reason for doing music hasn’t changed since day one: “I wouldn’t know what else to do.” That inner compass has guided him through rejection, reinvention, and self-discovery.The music industry will test your sanity. Leroy opens up about the emotional toll of tying self-worth to popularity. “Your success doesn’t define your value,” he says. “Surround yourself with people who remind you of that.”YouTube was about connection, not virality. Leroy reflects on the shift in content creation from community building to chasing viral moments. His hope? A return to deeper, more meaningful engagement.Still that kid with a guitar. After nearly two decades in music, Leroy still finds joy in sitting down with a guitar or piano and letting the ideas flow. He’s kept the heart of that kid uploading videos from his bedroom alive.✨ Sorry for the Chaos is out April 4th. Whether you’re a longtime fan or hearing Leroy for the first time, this album is a masterclass in storytelling, vulnerability, and musical growth.#MusicCreators #Podcast #LeroySanchez #SorryForTheChaos #IndieArtist #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #YouTubeArtist #SonicallyPodcast #newmusic For more sonical.ly content go to: Tiktok: @604sonicallyInstagram: @604sonical.lyTwitter: @sonically604
