ABOUT LONELYBANDZ
As the saying goes, pressure makes diamonds, and at just 21 years old, this young artist has already overcome quite a bit of adversity. James “Lonleybandz” Hall was born December 10, 1998, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The youngest of -five and the only boy, Bandz was primarily raised by his maternal grandmother while his mother struggled with sobriety on the impoverished north side of Tulsa.
Showcasing his dynamic flow as an equally talented vocalist and rapper, he began to record original music and post covers of popular songs on Youtube, quickly gaining traction online. His cover of SZA’s “The Weekend” amassed over 74K views, while the music video for his “Lonely Thoughts” garnered over 145K! Bandz’s ability to seamlessly blend raw lyrics and deep emotion with a melodic delivery is evident in tracks like “We Lit,” “Smoke,” “Beast Mode,” “Frozen,” and his latest, “Cartel Run It Up.”
Tough times proved no match for Lonleybandz, when his hard work and commitment to his craft paid off earlier this year. In the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Lonleybandz was introduced to Rob of Cartel Oil Records, based in San Diego, California. Rob immediately witnessed how talented Bandz was, and they inked a deal. Now, with a label backing, Lonleybandz hopes to see his biggest dream come true. “Ultimately the goal is to become the number one artist in the world”
“Just seeing guys just like me, who came from places just like I did, doing what I’m trying to do. When I see people on that level, I’m like ‘I can get to that level,” says Lonleybandz. “I can’t let the world consume me or become too big-headed, I have to stay level to the ground.” He attributes one of his favorite pastimes, fishing, to how he stays so level headed despite the things he has been through in his personal life.
This year, Lonleybandz plans to release 10 new singles as he prepares his debut album set for release in 2021. His latest single “Out The Mud” featuring Chicago rapper Calboy is set to release.
