George Lamond

George Lamond, Born in Washington D.C and raised in the Bronx, George’s First love was graphic arts but after numerous amateur performances at local talent shows and hanging out in the Freestyle clubs around New York, George knew he wanted to be a singer.

His first single, “Bad of the Heart”, was originally released on the independent label ligosa Records, with the artist credited as Loose touch, of which George Lamond was the lead singer. The song did well in its first release but Ligosa, being a small independent label, lacked the resources to give the record the exposure it deserved. The owners of the Label, Mark Ligget and Chris Barbosa, who were also the producers of the song, decided to shop George to a major label.

Columbia Records signed George and released “Without you”, his second single. Columbia records then re-released”Bad of the heart”now with the artist credited as simply George Lamond and the song became a smash reaching the top 30 on the Pop charts. George Lamond became an instant favorite among freestyle fans with his powerful voice and energetic performance.
