Early Life
Born Jared Samuel Erskine on October 17, 1986, in South Bend Indiana, popular singer-songwriter October London grew up in a very musically inclined family. He didn’t always want to be a singer though. The music inside of him just kind of….seeped out. He had once wanted to become a Storm Chaser, a Semi Truck driver, a creative designer for a major car company given his taste in beautiful cars, and even wanted to pursue acting. Growing up October London attended Winnie the pooh Pre-School, McKinley Elementary School and John Adams High School in South Bend. Although London’s crafty ways in the studio might lead you to believe that he has talent with playing several instruments, that is actually un-true. There was no band practice in school, no summer time piano or guitar lessons, and he couldn’t read music to save his life. October learned music by hitting the play and record button simultaneously on his boom box in his bedroom. October didn’t need to know how to read music if his brain could save sound structure and tone to his mental hard drive.
Recents Accomplishments for 2018
So far, 2018 has been a great start. London’s music, regardless of which genre he happens to be dabbling in at the time, is infused with a vibe more in line with painstaking studio sessions than the lean-fueled, off-top frivolity of many of his peers. He recently released a Pop album titled “Waves” and a Passion driven mixtape titled “4 Play (The Sexplicit EP)” which both together holds an eclectic sound that one known publication aptly described as “the love child of R. Kelly and John Mayer.” That sounds weird as hell, but it works. He has also this year been featured in Vibe magazine for Snoop’s 220 album and has been recognized for his writing and producing credit on snoops album “bible of love” which was the Number 1 gospel album and number 1 streaming gospel album in the country according to billboard and soundscan. London has also began to link up with actor Jeremy Piven on a sunglasses line, performed on jimmy Kimmel Live, Working on a major gospel E.P. that may or may not feature Kirk Franklin and has inked his own vodka deal. His flavored vodka is called “Je Te Veux” which is French for “I Want You”.
2018 seems to be panning out to be a great year for London. The last anyone has heard, is that he had plans on finishing up a ownership deal Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep and ram stores in northern Texas. Needless to say, we’ll be hearing a lot more from October London coming up soon.
