London TheophilusRapper & Producer (USA) As Wired puts it, Theophilus London "cuts across genres like a pop-culture comet, the Trinidad-born, Brooklyn-raised MC raps Morrissey-inspired lyrics over new-wave synthesizers, psycho-billy guitars, and electropop beats." Behind the success of his independently released mixtapes and Warner Bros. Records debut LP, Timez Are Weird These Days, Newsweek declared that Theophilus is "pioneering a new path for music," and The Wall Street Journal remarked that "London mixes together seemingly disparate styles to create a sound that bridges the gap between hip-hop, indie-rock and his soul and R&B influences." Theophilus London has spent the last two years traversing across the globe, selling out clubs from Paris to Australia to NYC and performing on TV shows like The Late Show With David Letterman, 90210, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and France's Concert Du Grand Journal.
