Rocking embroidered suits and felt fedoras like nobody’s business and blessed with a voice that’s right at home anywhere from a smoky seventies jazz club to a modern festival main stage, October London brings a fresh fire to timeless R&B and soul.

Signed to Snoop Dogg and Jazze Pha’s Cadillac Music, the Indiana-born singer and songwriter’s debut EP, Color Blind: Love, immediately ignited buzz upon its 2016 release.

After high school, October moved from Los Angeles to Miami and back to Indiana constantly writing, recording, and honing his craft. A friend passed him Jazze Pha’s number in 2015, and October sent the iconic producer a handful of tracks. Impressed and inspired, Pha offered to sign October, but mentioned that October would be receiving a call from another party on the deal.

“The night before Super Bowl 2016, my phone rang, and I heard, ‘What’s up nephew? This is the big boss Snoop Dogg’,” he recalls. “I couldn’t believe it! Snoop wanted to fly me out to L.A. to start recording.”
