Early life and education
London was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, and later moved to New York City, specifically Flatbush, Brooklyn. He then moved to Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, where he attended his junior and senior years of high school. He graduated in 2006 from Pocono Mountain East High School in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania. London grew up around Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Jamaican diasporas, going to local halls to learn the newest dances from Jamaica. He bought bootleg copies of albums by artists like Jay-Z, Mase, and Busta Rhymes. London's first performance was in 2002 at a local fair in Flatbush at the age of 16. After hearing his own recording around 2004–2005, London decided he wanted to pursue a career in the music industry.
London released his first mixtape JAM! in 2008. His second mixtape This Charming Mixtape came out in 2009 and his third mixtape I Want You in 2010. London's first tour was in 2009 alongside MeLo-X, who was his DJ, while his backing band was Body Language, whom he helped introduce to the final member to make the band a quartet.
