as at age 17 when LaMont's older sister convinced him to try out for the male vocalist position, in her high school pop group, that was when he realized music would be an important part of his life.  By his senior year, LaMont was being asked to sing at weddings, banquets and other area events. LaMont founded his high school's first inspirational choir "Voices of Youth" and upon graduation from high school he received music scholarships for both choir and band. 

During his college years LaMont sang gospel music as a part of a trio that toured nationally and was the opening act for many gospel greats such as Shirley Caesar, John P. Kee, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, and Daryl Coley.  Although LaMont enjoyed singing, he wanted to utilize more of his creative energies and so he began writing. 
After winning a competition at the company he worked for, LaMont realized it was time for him to step up the game and create a name for himself in the industry.  LaMont moved away from gospel to more contemporary lyrics; he began writing his first CD entitled "Love Goes On".  In March of 2002 LaMont's song "You Didn't Come Home" was played at the Houston Music Exposition. LaMont began to produce and arrange the final tracks on his debut CD and now offers that work to you through his own label - LaMont Music.
 
”Love Goes On” was released the spring of 2004; the reviews highlight LaMont’s incredible talent, proving he is a passionately inspired vocalist and songwriter. He has the voice and technique: like many contemporary R&B singers, his tools are in his ad-libbing, giving each song depth and meaning. "Love Goes On" is an emotionally charged first CD where there is meaning in every note and every lyric. LaMont wrote and sings all the songs, while producing all but two of the tracks. When LaMont opens his mouth he is not just singing a melody, he is singing his life's history.  As Stacey Board of the Muse’s Muse puts it “Fans of Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Seal will all find things that will please them in “Love Goes On”.

In addition to performing in the United States, LaMont has also preformed in London, Oslo, Germany, Czech Republic and various parts of Mexico.  The Texas native gives back to his community by lending his voice at fundraisers supporting The Boys and Girls Club.  LaMont has also led a team in the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk to raise awareness for blood cancers and funds for cures.

In addition to his musical talent LaMont also acts and models and has been in a National advertising campaign for CompUSA.  His music video “Love Goes On” has received major rotation on public TV and internet sites.

Recently in the studio, LaMont just completed the recording of a his sophomore CD entitled “Get 2 Know U”.   This project features some great R&B hip-hop collaborations, with production from emerging American and German producers.
