Now Playing: Theophilus London-I Want You

Theophilus London is a unique alternative rap artist from Brooklyn, NY. His genre-bending approach draws from a range of styles, from soul-pop and post-punk to electro and contemporary R&B. Citing influences that include Michael Jackson and Prince as well as Kraftwerk and the Smiths, he began working with the New York City-based label Normrex in 2007. He made his label debut with a couple mixtapes, Jam! (2008) and This Charming Mixtape (2009), which circulated freely in the music blogopshere. London made his album debut in 2009 with This Charming Man, a stylistically wide-ranging full-length effort featuring an eclectic cast of vocal guests and production work by Normrex beatmakers Machinedrum, Jimmy Edgar, and Letherette. Jason Birchmeier, Rovi. London's recent mixtape I Want You (2011) which recently hit the airwaves several weeks ago is AWESOME. Many people have never even heard of Mr. London, but I am here to attest that he is magnificent lyricist and a ace when it comes to creativity. (Bio excerpt used from starpulse.com)
