Born and raised in Bronx, New York, Lavon Collins, professionally known as “L.C.” began to develop his love for music. Developing a passion for music at an early age, L.C. began to pursue his dreams at the age of 12 when his parents gifted him with a keyboard. Forgoing the lifestyle of crime and poverty taken by others surrounding him, L.C. continued to remain focused as he steadily made moves to make his dream of becoming a notable hip-hop artist a reality.
Relying on influences ranging from Rakim, Kool G Rap, KRS One, 2Pac, and Nas, L.C. began writing, making beats and arranging music in hopes of following in their footsteps. Much of his lyrical content early on reflected his mentor “ALM” who gave him hands-on experience to composing music. L.C. then began recording in his apartment where they produced and duplicated their music. He did local shows, performed at parties from “Sound View” to Bronx Park East and has created a buzz for himself performing in rap showcases throughout NYC and abroad.
Now managed by Artists-First Entertainment LLC, rapper and music enthusiast L.C. is making waves on the scene with the recent release of “Don’t Trip” featuring Donnell Jones. L.C. is committed to changing the game; and he plans to take his career to the next level one solid story at a time with a true heart for hip-hop and developing his natural gift of being a performer.
L.C.’s next level includes securing a single deal on Street Scholar Music Group; which is distributed by Bungalo/Universal. His red-hot single, “Don't Trip,” features R&B sensation Donell Jones, and continues to gain momentum amongst DJs and audiences. After opening for such artists as Full Force, Rob Base, Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD), and Nina Sky at Foxwoods Resort, L.C. also tapped into the modeling realm for T.I.’s “Akoo” clothing line on BET’s 2009 Rip The Runway, as well as sharing the stage with his icon, Rakim, for several shows.
