Biography

Larrenwong is a self-taught vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter from Union City, CA. The child of a Filipino immigrant mother and Black American father, Larren has a rich cultural foundation. His grandfather, a jazz band leader and flautist in the New York Philharmonic was an early musical role model for Larren, despite being hard to impress. The now 27 year old artist began playing the guitar at the age of 12 and along the way, learned how to produce, play bass, piano, and the bassoon as well. After playing D1 football and obtaining a Masters in Creative Management at Northwestern University, Larren played linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks before deciding to leave athletics to pursue a full time career as a musician. Drawing heavily from sounds of the Bay Area as well as artists like Erykah Badu, J Dilla, and D’Angelo, Larrenwong fuses his range of influences and life experience into a worldly sound that is uniquely his own.
