Landon, born in 1986, is the oldest son of Bobby Brown. Landon has been singing since he was a child, and was born into the fame of his father’s band, New Edition. Landon is a singer, songwriter and rapper whose lyrics are inspired from his real life experiences. He cites Prince, Maxwell, D’Angelo and Craig David as musical influences.

Landon and Bobby are said to have a close, but competitive relationship. “I love my father,” Landon says, “but he isn’t the reason for my music. Just because you’re someone’s son doesn’t mean you have the talent they have. But it also doesn’t mean you can’t be better than them either.”

Not only do they compete with music, but now Landon has the chance to catch up to his father’s fame from realty tv. Bobby Brown had his own reality show, Being Bobby Brown , which launched in 2005 and aired for 13 episodes. While the show chronicled Bobby’s personal life, Landon refused to appear on his father’s show. However, now that the opportunity has arisen for his own show, Landon feels the exposure will be good for his career.

“I love to compete,” Landon explains. “I’ve learned from [my father’s] mistakes. I do me, but I tone myself down a little more, except on stage. I’ll try not to take my shirt off up there. They told me not to.”
