    Baton Rouge, Louisiana, ​native Ian Von grew up with deep roots firmly planted in the church, where he cultivated his skills as a singer and musician. ​He later joined a boy band and toured with artists such as Destiny's Child and Joe.

    Ian finally moved to a solo career a couple years ago and he is now readying his ​sophomore album, Love Songs, Beats & Guitars.​ And he leads off the album with the dance number, "New Music." Says Ian, "'​New Music' was one of the first few songs I recorded off my new album. I realized my album had a strong soulful R&B feel and wanted  to balance it  with a more contemporary sound that would blend Dance R&B music as well as wanting something that would appeal to a more international market which was the heart behind creating this record.'​New Music​'" is metaphoric, as it describes me wanting to shed new light as in ​'New music​'" to this woman and it can also be interpreted as me bringing new music to the R&B music industry."
