A prolific songwriter with unrelenting work ethics, London has never allowed himself to become complaisant, instead he continues to push, always evolving - sharpening the performer in him, strengthening his vocal range, and never allowing himself to be content following trends, but rather, looking for ways to set them.
His rapid growth is visible in the string of singles and music videos that he has released over the course of the last year. Beginning with the somewhat infectious pop single, Rebel Child, followed by If Life Was a Movie and ending last year with the cover of Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good, which he released as a tribute to the singer on the third year anniversary of her death. For London, Amy’s talent was what stood out and he was profoundly moved by the fragility of her gift.

He returned to the studio in late 2014 to start working on the first of a series of new songs, launching the New Year with First Time, a song that chronicles the crazy, uncontrolled, roller-coaster ride that one can often succumb to when love takes hold. The video, for which he also acted as creative director, reveals a darker, edgier, more fashion forward and mature London.
Taking a page from another one of the artists he has admired over the years, Michael Jackson, London hopes to channel the high standards and work ethics that won Jackson the respect of the music industry.
The drive to succeed, to create, to perform, to put in the hours of hard work – this is the fuel that inspires him and everyone he comes in contact with.
The first thing one notices on meeting London, is his unwavering desire to do “good” through music. That has always been at the center of his dreams and aspirations to make it in a business that can be a tough nut to crack.
His resolve is firmly in place. And though life has thrown him a series of curves and disappointments, he remains focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. That is the message he wants his growing fan base to take away.
He wants to encourage those who find themselves in tough situations to seek solace in their ability to dream big; to set their course, to find the passion in their lives and to find the joy in the journey.
He found his salvation in music. Writing, singing, performing – these things allowed him to channel the pain of great loss into creative expression. “I want to be an example that there is always hope. Everything becomes possible when you are able to rise above the every day challenges.”
