Biography

Toronto-based rising star Langston Francis releases his new single “Waste My Time” off his forthcoming sophomore EP Self-Titled, set for release later this year. The infectious lead single was written by Langston with multi-platinum selling songwriter Neil Ormandy (Bebe Rexha) and producer and multi-instrumentalist Martin Wave (Chloe Lilac). “Waste My Time” is about “that carefree moment when you're going out to the party, before you do the thing you'll regret the next day,” Langston jokingly explains. The upcoming sophomore EP follows Langston’s debut EP 'roaming' and illustrates a coming of age for Langston. “It’s the sound of the endless summer after high school graduation, when everyone is still young but finally trying new things—it’s exciting and terrifying,” says Langston. Langston’s debut EP 'roaming,' which featured the singles “Fall From Grace,” “These Nights,” and “FCKD IT UP,” has accumulated nearly 10 million combined worldwide streams to date. Langston received profiling in Vibe, Complex, and Blog TO, among others and he was invited to perform on the stage of some of Canada’s most coveted summer festivals including Osheaga, Festival d'été de Québec, and Ottawa Bluesfest. In 2018, he was selected for Roots Sweatstyle campaign that ran in United States and Canada, and was named to Rogers Radio “One To Watch” and iHeart Radio’s “Future Stars” campaigns. Langston is currently in putting the final touches on his sophomore EP expected later this year.
