From the heart of Dallas, Texas, emerges London—an artist whose genre-bending sound bridges worlds of alternative R&B, psychedelic soul, hip-hop, ska, and jazz. With a style as fluid as emotion itself, London draws inspiration from musical pioneers like Devanté Swing of Jodeci, Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, Tyler, The Creator, and The Internet. His work is deeply rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and the raw essence of human experience.
London’s creative process is meticulous and immersive. Starting with drum tracks—either played live or programmed through his MPCs—he layers guitars, bass, and a variety of keyboard arrangements to build a rich sonic foundation. “Vocals usually take me the longest,” he admits, often stacking up to 40 takes to perfect a single song. His dedication to detail shines through in every mix, creating immersive soundscapes that reflect his emotional depth.
Themes of love, lust, loss, and nostalgia run throughout his music. His recent projects, Agony and Blowed, were born out of his time in Los Angeles and the whirlwind of experiences that shaped him there. London often collaborates with collectives like The Pymanders, working alongside Maverick Lawson and Tito Strange, as well as with artists from Lonersparadise and Jay Indigo of The Children of Indigo.
When asked what keeps him inspired, London’s answer is simple yet profound: “I do so by living.” For him, art imitates life, and every adventure fuels creativity. Maintaining authenticity is crucial—he embraces vulnerability and truth in his lyrics and sound.
As London continues to grow, his goal remains clear: to connect, inspire, and reveal the beauty within life’s highs and lows.
