Lamont Landers

Born and raised in Decatur, Alabama, where “everybody knows everybody,” music was the heartbeat of Lamont’s upbringing. Riding in the backseat of his dad’s Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, he soaked up Southern rock staples from the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. At home, his mother spun records by Al Green, Sly & The Family Stone, Ray Charles, and Marvin Gaye, laying the foundation for his love of classic soul. Amid his parents’ divorce, music became his refuge. 

It wasn’t until his early twenties that Lamont discovered the true power of his voice—stepping up unexpectedly after his college band’s lead singer quit. That spontaneous moment unlocked a soulful force that would define his career. His breakout moment came after graduation with a viral cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit The Road Jack”—amassing over half a million views in a single night. From there, he dove headfirst into music, earning acclaim on America’s Got Talent and Showtime at the Apollo, while gaining a dedicated following on TikTok with knockout covers.When Questlove reposted Lamont’s rendition of “Rubber Band Man,” it caught the ear of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. Blown away by Lamont’s raw talent, Cobb extended a direct invitation to record at his Savannah, GA studio—an opportunity that led to Landers signing with Cobb’s Republic Records imprint, Lucile.
