Leon Knight and DE'WAYNE release "YES I DO"

Oh, hi, music! Welcome back.

Leon Knight has burst onto the scene with “YES I DO,” a sassy funk-rock anthem that embodies the return of everything loud, raw, and unapologetically alive. Featuring DE’WAYNE, the track is overflowing with energy — electric guitars, punchy drums, and a groove that makes you want to dance and throw a mic stand across the room at the same time.

Knight describes it as “the ultimate sassy funk-rock anthem,” and he isn't wrong. Vintage drum machines, wild guitar solos, and a bold attitude fuel the song from start to finish. It’s rock and roll infused with glitter, sweat, and zero apologies.

Leon Knight has been steadily building his own movement as a producer, songwriter, and guitar shredder, bringing funk and vigor back to the forefront. His debut record, *Can It Please Be Tomorrow?*, showcased his ability to blend showmanship with substance, and “YES I DO” feels like the next chapter in that mission: reviving rock and roll’s soul without compromising for mainstream appeal.

Enter DE’WAYNE, the Houston-born powerhouse who is redefining what it means to be a rock star in 2025. Known for his explosive live performances and genre-blurring style, DE’WAYNE has carved out a niche by fusing punk spirit with pop and hip-hop swagger. On “YES I DO,” he doesn’t just contribute; he ignites the track.

Together, they create a vibrant fusion of two worlds. “YES I DO” isn’t just nostalgic — it’s a powerful statement. It represents the sound of modern rock clawing its way back to center stage.
