Lando Chill makes music which is classified as hip-hop, but isn't tethered to a single genre; encompassing elements of funk, gospel, jazz, indie rock, psychedelic, and folk. Born and raised in Chicago, Lando moved to Arizona to attend college in 2010. His debut full-length For Mark, Your Son arrived on Mello Music Group in 2016. The album was an intense self-examination inspired by the loss of the rapper's father, who died of a heart attack when Washington was three years old. Lando Chill's second album, The Boy Who Spoke to the Wind, appeared in 2017 and was named #26 on Bandcamp Daily's 100 Best Albums of the Year. The album was influenced by Paulo Coelho's book The Alchemist, and contained a more abstract, experimental sound than his prior releases. Since 2016, Lando Chill has teamed with multi-instrumentalist and producer The Lasso, resulting in a singular sound only possible through a true symbiosis of vocalist and producer. The duo has took a leap forward with Lando Chill’s latest releases, Black Ego; a collection of songs that is equal parts west coast funk and desert trip-hop, threaded together by Lando's bold vision, and LandoLasso; a musical return to the stratospheric, orchestral sound the two eclectic souls are so known for. His latest effort, If I’m Being Honest, was released in 2022 after a 2 year hiatus & is the triumphant return of the southwest’s most versatile and dynamic vocalist.
