As the music scene continues to evolve, one name is rising above the rest: Landon McClellan. With his hit single “LUV U 2MORO” already taking the industry by storm, this talented artist is poised to make 2025 his breakout year. Sitting down with Landon at FAM Studios in Wilmington, NC, it’s clear that his journey is as compelling as his music. “Versatility should never be a damper on precision,” he says, nodding along to the beat as he crafts sounds on his MIDI drum pads.
A Journey Rooted in Resilience
Born into a rural environment, Landon was instilled with a remarkable work ethic from an early age. His musical journey began with piano lessons, which laid the foundation for his self-taught exploration of various disciplines. Graduating from Cape Fear College with an Associate in Arts in Vocal Performance, Landon initially seemed destined for a traditional Fine Arts career. However, his rapid evolution as an artist led him down a different path.
His discography showcases an incredible range, from the aggressive rock-infused rap of “This Feelin’” (2020) to the emotional ballads of “What A Time We Had” (2022), and the smooth R&B vibes of “Woman Like You” featuring OneBigMob (2023). Each release has cemented his reputation as a versatile musician capable of crossing genres with ease.
A Rising Star with an Independent Spirit
Fast forward to today, and Landon has already accomplished so much: dozens of released songs, collaborations with remarkable artists, a series of engaging music videos, and performances up and down the East Coast. With hundreds of thousands of views across various platforms, he’s caught the attention of major industry players, receiving multiple record deal offers. Yet, he chooses to remain independent, recently signing a distribution deal with Symphonic Records.
“LUV U 2MORO,” produced by Charlotte’s own J-Stylz under the ISwimWithSharks label, has already garnered significant attention and is resonating widely with listeners. Fans are embracing its infectious melody and relatable lyrics, further establishing Landon as a formidable presence in the industry.
Sharing Stages with Legends
Landon’s experience performing alongside major acts—including Bobby Dollaz, DaBaby, Ginuwine, and Dru Hill—has equipped him with the skills to captivate audiences. His collaborations extend to established producers like J-Stylz of Blackstreet and multi-platinum producer Krazy Figs, ensuring that his sound is both fresh and polished.
