Lamont Anderson a.k.a. L.A. VanGogh grew up in the Chicago suburb of Dolton, IL. Between home and the star-studded ranks of the Chicago open mic scene, he developed his vivid storytelling and candid delivery. Beneath clever uses of language, ear candy production, and fun schemes, you'll often uncover new meanings with each listen. And yes, you will listen more than once. Although mindful, what makes L.A.'s music so effective is its catchiness. "When I Get Rich," a song about money, doesn't just gloss over the indulgence of newfound wealth but considers the responsibility and vulnerability that comes along, all while riding a nasty 808 and glittery synth piano. This kind of contrast characterizes the spectrum of L.A.'s talent. "Be Careful" is an ode to choosing words carefully for the sake of one's mental well-being. Romantic soul cuts like "Cause" and "& Effect" show us a more tender VanGogh in tune with his senses. It's these unique stances and varieties of topics that make him a musical force. Over the past 2 years, L.A. has garnered notoriety between his 2017 drop "Everything Is Subjective: Episode 1," which included the viral single "Changed My Number Pt. 2", and his most recent release "Everything Is Subjective: Episode 2" whose lead single brought a stunning visual story in the music video "CMYH." With a growing brand and promising talent, L.A. VanGogh is poised to stake his claim as one of hip-hop's most versatile artists.
