Golden Landis Von Jones (born November 13, 2000), known professionally as 24kGoldn, is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. He initially saw recognition for his 2019 single "Valentino", which marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and led him to sign with Barry Weiss' Records, an imprint of Columbia Records. His 2020 single, "Mood" (featuring Iann Dior), peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 for 8 non consecutive weeks, and led his debut studio album El Dorado (2021), which peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200.
Early life and education Golden Landis Von Jones was born on November 13, 2000, in San Francisco, California, to Kimberly Landis, an Ashkenazi Jewish mother, and Torino Von Jones, an African-American Catholic father. He has a younger sister named Sage Landis Von Jones. Both of his parents worked as fashion models before he was born. He was raised celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah, and attended Hebrew school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmDZX4XidBQ, at 3:50 As a child, 24kGoldn acted in commercials. He sang in the choir in middle school and high school, and, with that, the importance of music in his life grew with his "own growth". Before he realized he could do music professionally, he planned on becoming a hedge fund manager. 24kGoldn attended Lowell High School, a selective public high school, where he graduated in 2018.
24kGoldn attended the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, joking that they accepted him because of a double entendre in "Valentino", where he joined the Beta-Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, as a Spring 2019 initiate. He took a leave of absence from school to pursue his rap career. 24kGoldn stated that he was not anticipating "that things were going to happen so fast when I came to USC", and did not think he would finish University, but he wanted to round off the school year to further develop the relationships he made, stating his love for being on campus, and that being a student kept him "grounded".
Career In 2017, 24kGoldn released his first music video for his first song, titled "Trappers Anthem". In January 2019, he released the single, titled "Valentino", which received over 350 million plays on Spotify. He received his first record deal through producer D.A. Doman. 24kGoldn got his big break through his "high-energy" single "Valentino". However, in 2020, the artist said that "those ['Valentino'] were recorded over a year ago and don't exactly reflect the person I have become since then". In November 2019, 24kGoldn released his debut extended play (EP), titled Dropped Outta College, and he signed a record deal with Records, LLC and Columbia Records. In 2020, 24kGoldn gained further attention with single, titled "City of Angels", which was officially released to US alternative radio on March 31; as well as he follow with an official remix of the song by English singer-songwriter Yungblud, released in May 2020.24kGoldn: Bay Area rap sensation with fan in Yungblud by Kyann-Sian Williams, NME, May 27, 2020.

Artistry 24kGoldn's music spans a variety of genres, motivated by his want "never ... to be constricted by one genre".
