Lando Chill makes music that's classified as hip-hop but isn't tethered to a single genre, encompassing elements of funk, gospel, jazz, indie rock, and folk. His lyrics are highly introspective, reflecting on personal struggles and posing existential questions, but even at his most cathartic, he maintains a positive, encouraging outlook. His debut full-length, For Mark, Your Son, arrived on Mello Music Group in 2016. It was swiftly followed by Madera Canyon, an EP featuring live band recordings of tracks from the full-length, plus additional material. Lando Chill's second album, The Boy Who Spoke to the Wind, appeared in 2017. Influenced by Paulo Coelho's book The Alchemist, it contained more of an abstract, experimental sound. ~ Paul Simpson
