Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to LaLion (Grant Lalaian). We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Lalion, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I started playing guitar at six years old and performing for people since the 2nd grade. Music has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I had been in numerous bands that didn’t pan out, then after my last one broke up, I decided I would just do it myself and not have to rely on anyone. So, I purchased a $20 microphone off Amazon, learned FL Studio (recording software), and started releasing music.
Lalion, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am a rock, rap, indie, and pop artist. What sets me apart from others is I write, produce, mix, and master all my songs myself. Since 2015, I have released over 280 songs, and am currently waiting to release over 100 fully finished songs. All I do all day is create music, it is the only thing I can think about. I’m most proud of achieving so much independently without a label. Currently I have amassed over 40 million streams on Spotify alone.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is hearing stories from fans about how my music has saved their lives. My main goal by creating music is to let the depressed kids out there know that they aren’t alone and that someone has gone through what they have gone through.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
The best advice I can give is to keep going. Post regularly, create engaging content, and never give up.
