Kyle Landon was born in 1996 in Los Angeles, California, to a metalhead mother and rapper/producer father. He was raised on a strict diet of Sonic the Hedgehog video games, whose catchy, vibrant, multi-genre soundtracks first gave him an itching to create music himself. For whatever reason, probably both nature and nurture, Kyle became more and more sensitive as he grew up, harboring a strong desire to express himself, while being horribly afraid to do so.

When Kyle reached his teenage years, he received his first guitar for Christmas, one he requested after no longer feeling challenged by Guitar Hero, and feeling failed by its built-in song creator. He quickly fell in love with the instrument, and began coming up with his own little riff ideas, recording them into the voice memos on his iPod Touch. Kyle spent the next few years being a confused teenager, dodging questions of what he wanted to do after high school, and setting his guitar amp as quiet as possible whenever he wasn’t home alone.

Kyle, an internet OG, a master explorer, began diving deeper and deeper into as many types of music as he could get his hands on, in an effort to become as well rounded as possible. Eventually, the particular discovery of Devin Townsend informed Kyle that actually, you could just make a great sounding album at home by yourself, something Kyle had assumed was impossible.

One day, Kyle loaded up Audacity, a program he previously used to record music off of primitive streaming services to throw onto his iPod. Using a microphone app and an aux cord, he recorded (with heavy latency) one of his guitar ideas. Then, for the first time, he recorded another idea on top, harmonizing the guitar line. Love at first listen. Feverishly, Kyle began recording all of his ideas into his computer, stitching together metronome tracks and laying down drums with a hand-me-down drum machine from Dad. With the intention of impressing a girl, Kyle finished his first album shortly after turning 17. And yes, the plan worked, even though the relationship was short lived.

After this album, Kyle discovered some great sounding remixes of Sonic music, and after inquiring further, discovered that they were produced in FL Studio, which led sea-faring Kyle Landon to obtaining a copy for himself. In this era, tutorial content simply did not exist, and Kyle flopped and floundered around for years and years, confused and completely unaware of “industry standard” instruments and techniques, brute forcing new sounds and styles he could call his own, one part Death Grips, one part Swans, one part Sonic-music.

Kyle made another album towards the end of high school, this one inside of FL Studio. Traumatized by the relationship he was in at the time, the music was the only possible way for him to express himself. Kyle graduated high school in 2015, college was skipped, and he returned to Los Angeles to live with his dad and try to figure something out with the music (after his parent’s divorce, he was relocated with his mom to the Central Valley.)

From the years 2016 to 2019, Kyle created and released the albums Gold Shadows, Selfish Animal, Margaux, SPINNING, The World Will Spin Without Me, and I Get Sad Easily. All recorded on a laptop in a car barely grazing by heatstroke while swapping batteries, all unknown to everyone, friends and family. The music got good, really good. And all the while, Kyle hoped that the algorithm would just pick it up one day. That some big journalist would just find it and spread it out to the world, or that word of mouth would carry him far. He refused to network, promote, make content, anything. You could say that maybe he just thought he was too good for promo. But Kyle was always nervous about being heard.

During the creation of I Get Sad Easily in 2019, Kyle sets aside 8 tracks for later.

2020 hits and wow! Now Kyle has a valid excuse for why he doesn’t have a job! Social and political unrest breaks out before the summer and Kyle feels the anger of world. Despite being absolutely at one with the climate of the country at that current moment, he mistakenly sets aside 12 tracks for later.

2021 arrives and Kyle writes some of his best tracks yet. He sets aside 14 tracks for later. When he knows there will be people around to hear them.

2022 – Money motivated, Kyle temporarily gets indoctrinated into the Sync music scam and attempts to make and license music to be played in the background of cooking shows. He gets no syncs and makes no money, but learns a lot about business, and now has his own website and custom email address.

2023. While remixing his entire studio discography with newfound techniques that the new music production content boom has educated him with, Kyle decides to start making his own music content, finally quelling a burning voice that had been screaming in his head since at least 2017. Towards the end of the year, he accidentally ends up employed and forklift certified, and even more suicidal than he was while making I Get Sad Easily, an impressive feat. About a week into the job, after months of 3 view videos, he hits 1,000 YouTube subscribers.

2024: Kyle goes all hands on deck with the content, and quits his job, angering everyone. Over the course of the year, Kyle becomes a content king, redefining the music production landscape repeatedly, becoming louder and bolder as the months pass, both on the internet, and in his own life. Then, the 3 year long relationship he was in that I didn’t even mention at all suddenly crumbles.

In a prolonged moment of weakness, Kyle begins to reevaluate what he has been doing for the past 9 years, wondering if he was dragging those he cared for most down with him. Kyle makes the decision to put the music and content on the backburner, just pursuing it as a hobby. He also decides to finally put out those 3 albums he was harboring for years and years. In the span of weeks, while getting rejected from Walmart, Home Depot, and Costco, Dead Body Breathe, IT SHOULD NEVER BE HOW IT USED TO BE, and Existed are released to an actual audience, and for the first time, Kyle gets to see actual comments and reviews and reactions to his serious music. Finally, Kyle gets to find out that no, he isn’t horrifically delusional, and that actually, he does make some pretty decent stuff.

Eventually, thanks to time, and maybe even therapy, the sadness ceases. Reenergized and back to his senses, Kyle continues to dominate the music production content-o-sphere, creating classic moments like the Sub Me Up When September Ends 30 day content marathon.

One day, out of spite, Kyle learns Blender 3D and creates Baunted Bransylvania 4, the greatest Halloween x Thanksgiving x Christmas movie of all time, debuting classic characters like Lil Puck, Turkeh, and horrifying yellow alien Blee Blee, a character floating around in Kyle’s subconscious since at least 2021. During the creation, Kyle discovers that actually, writing dumb scripts and making these weird looking characters attack each other is one of the most satisfying things he’s ever done, and he decides that animating silly cartoons will be his other main thing, along with making incredible, dead serious music.

2025: Things are excellent. We’re just getting started. It is Kyle’s obligation to the world to entertain as best as he can, and he will continue to do so until like two decades after the day he can’t anymore.

In 2018, Kyle met someone. He suddenly had some sort of vision and feverishly wrote a handful of tracks to be finished later.
2025: the person is gone, as predicted, and the half finished album is concluded.
