Hello friemaly! It’s been too long, but I have some new music for all of your BeAtlanta ears. You may remember that may years ago we hosted a couple of shows at the BeAtlanta House and Star Bar where Couleen Lagon graced our stage, 5.10.2014 and 5.24.2014 .
I’m excited to announce a new single that dropped in 2021, “Fun Time” by Mr.LaGon. We should expect more new music from Couleen all throughout 2021. Couleen LaGon prides himself in being a person “Helping creative people grow and develop their ideas.” (Couleen LaGon) Mr.LaGon is a producer, an artist and the founder of The Marchen Sagen Academy.
“Who ever invented the “box” that most artists find themselves cast in, never had a chance to hear Couleen LaGon. Crafting a soulful, rhythmic and inspiring left-field musical experience, unlike anything heard before on the Earth. Sounding like a mashup, his musical valley is deep, incorporating influences of soul, country, rock, rap and electronic, under a deep, resonating vocal tone. Couleen was bred in south Atlanta. He first began singing as the bass in a local acapella group called Forte, which later became the 90’s R&B super group, @112 Inspired by such artists as Radiohead, Nirvana, N.W.A., Crosby Stilly & Nash, Earth Wind & Fire, Zero-7 and the Beetles, Couleen was heavily influenced by the bass music on the airwaves (and on the cassette tapes) in Atlanta that took over rap music in the late 80’s and early 90’s. As a producer, Couleen was discovered by Cee-Lo Green, who later signed him to a production deal with his Radiculture Records label imprint. Since then, Couleen has produced music and videos for film, television, and the web, developed an artist that was signed to Interscope Records.
Couleen is now crafting a special sound and producing and mixing for artists in Atlanta and abroad. Being added to playlists daily, this ATL magic leaking out to the world on Spotify!”(Couleen LaGon)
