Louis Landon began playing piano at age five. At fourteen, he quit the piano and the classical music he was studying, and began playing blues and rock & roll on the electric guitar. By listening and learning from records, his new teachers were Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and B.B. King, to name a few. Then, at age twenty, after hearing "Light As A Feather," by Chick Corea, Landon enrolled in Berklee College of Music in Boston to study jazz. He also switched back to piano as his main instrument.

After practicing eight hours a day and jamming with several musicians around Boston, Landon met John Payne, a saxophone player, with whom he toured for three years opening for Weather Report, Tony William's 'Lifetime', Stanley Turrentine, Gary Burton, Bill Evans, and many other jazz greats.

During these years, Landon provided most of the writing for the three albums that were released, two for the Arista Freedom label and one for Mercury Records. After their release, Landon moved to Manhattan, forming his own fusion band called Nightfire, and freelancing with other bands as well as doing studio work.

In the late 70's, Landon auditioned for John Hall (from the band "Orleans") and got the keyboard spot in his band. He toured with John Hall opening for Little Feat, as well as recording on John Hall's Power album for Columbia Records. After leaving John Hall's band, Landon began touring with Rupert 'Pina Colada' Holmes. From there, Landon began working for Ross Enterprises producing music for corporate shows, films, and videos. During the summers, Landon toured with Mikhail Baryshnikov, performing nationally and internationally.

In 1986, Landon began taking in projects outside of his work with Ross Enterprises. His first job was a three year affiliation with Paul Gilbert at the National Basketball Association to produce music for their television commercials including their best plays and bloopers commercials. In 1991, Landon officially opened his own music production and record company called Landon Music Company.

In the year 2000, Landon became an honorary "soul brother" by joining Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers on tours to Malaysia, Istanbul, Turkey, and South America, including Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.

In January, 2001, Landon produced and debuted "The Gershwins, Cole Porter, & Me," a one hour concert program featuring songs by the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Landon. In June, 2002, Landon created a new concert program based on the songs of Rodgers and Hart entitled, “Rodgers and Hart & Me.” Other programs include: "100% Me," "Songs of the 40's," "A Tribute to Frank Sinatra," "Broadway Show Tunes," vocal and instrumental standards and originals, as well as New Age/Ambient original solo piano music from the new CD, "unwind." "unwind" Landon's sixth release, and first solo piano CD, rose to #3 on the NAR charts and was nominated for best CD of 2006, best solo CD of 2006, and best cover art of 2006 by NAR's Lifestyle Awards. His 7th CD, and second solo piano CD, has just been released and is receiving radio promotion worldwide.

Louis Landon's personal mission in life is to create a more peaceful world by writing and performing music from the heart.
