America’s got talent, and his name is Theophilus London. And despite a British-sounding name and Brooklyn home address, London is universal. This 21-year-old entertainer bridges hip-hop, indie-rock, and electronica while pointedly avoiding any pit-stops in disco rap. Because that would be lame and he is anything but. Theophilus’ dance-driven sound yielded two (incredible) mixtapes, Jam! and This Charming Mixtape (which Complex named the #21 Best Album of 2009). And while Theo’s musical chops make him as memorable as any headliner on his U.S. and European tours (with A-Trak and britpop singer Jack Penate respectively), as you can see, he’s just as visually enigmatic.

With over 20 countries under his belt last year and presently on tour with DJ Treats Things are going very well for the new artist. Theo is also collaborating on projects with Mark Ronson and Gucci. Complex.com
