He specializes in the genres of hip-hop and R&B, with his style being self-described as "harmony rap".

Initially a violinist, he became fascinated with hip-hop at a young age, attributing his time spent navigating iTunes & YouTube to developing his taste in music. He would overdub recordings of him playing violin onto instrumentals of well-known songs, burn them to CDs and sell them at school. At the age of 13, he began learning to rap and produce using GarageBand, attempting to copy other artists he found on DatPiff, then moving onto Logic Pro once he began attending high school. He eventually moved from his hometown of Danville, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Belmont University and find a more fitting music scene. He began posting to online music platforms such as SoundCloud and Bandcamp before releasing his first single, "Bonnie & Clyde", to music streaming services via DistroKid on December 5, 2016.

Landon Sears has released three studio albums, Autumn Icarus which was released on 19 December 2017, 88.1, released on 30 January 2021, and Call Collect X, released on 28 October 2022.
