- Leon Hendrix (born January 13, 1948) is the younger brother of Jimi Hendrix. He took up guitar seriously later in life and has released an album. He is a former drug addict and small-time crook and has spent time in prison, once for stealing a fur coat for his girlfriend. He and his brother Jimi grew up very poor in Seattle's Central District. Both parents were heavy drinkers and when Leon was still a small boy they divorced. Their mother Lucille died not long after. In Leon's words, his father was abusive and an alcoholic, but they loved him. Leon spent a significant period of his young life growing up in foster care. When he was in his late teens, he went on the road with his famous brother. But by the time Jimi died, Leon had a name for himself as a two-bit criminal. When Jimi Hendrix died in 1970 Leon was released from jail to attend his funeral. Over the following three decades Leon had a lengthy rap sheet for petty crime and a serious crack-cocaine addiction. Unpopular to report since it seems to make a better story, Leon has had many jobs. One of which was a draftsman at Boeing. One might say that Leon's talent as a visual artist is in league with his brother's talent for music. The Hendrix boy's were raised up on extremely hard times, yet had a resiliance about them. Leon's incredible drawings of his brothers portrait can be seen emblazoned on t-shirts worn by loyal Jimi fan's that you could say know the deeper end of the Hendrix family history. You would only acquire one if you attended a Leon Hendrix Mysterience show or order one from him directly. Leon's art has suffered in the past due to so many only wishing to seek him out on behalf of his memories growing up with his protective older brother. In recent years the father of six and grandfather of two has cleaned up his act and has been attempting to make a living via music and art.
