Theophilus London

“I keep a creative group around me.”

“A lot of my favorite artists are fashion icons.”

“'Billie Jean' was a negative dance song, and that was one of the best dance songs ever.”

“I collect different game hats, like Syracuse Women's Volleyball; I have a Navy Basketball hat. They're all vintage but in new condition.”

“Shout-out to my dad - he influenced my style when I was 17.”

“I always imagined how cool it would be to be the face of a Gap campaign!”

“Hip-hop is like underground. I don't know if hip-hop exists anymore. I don't know if it does.”

“Becoming a walking, dancing, fire-breathing lifestyle dragon is not something you can pursue overnight! It takes years of studying, living, and understanding the modern culture!”

“My favorite brand I have ever artistically collaborated, entertained, and supported over the years is the huge house that Coco Chanel built: Chanel.”

“There were times when I was just listening to albums for the hype of it. Some albums, I would just put it on in my car, and me and my friends would just drive, that we'd wild out to, get arrested to.”

“Let's see: I'm into a whole bunch of different people - Alexander Wang... that's my dude.”

“A lot of my friends inspire my style, and they don't even know it.”

“Some people thought Theophilus was a fake name. Whatever.”

“I want to wear something that's not perfectly matching; there has to be something unorthodox about it. I want to create this mystery.”

“I like to keep a uniform - wear a blazer, try to keep the same colour pants; very tailored, very fitted but still edgy.”

“I went to school for marketing for one year before I dropped out of college to make music.”

“As snap-backs became more popular, I started to search and expand my hat game.”

“I listen to a lot of really old western and country music. There's a lot of cool stuff in there... all the heartbreak of the country darkness.”

“What I sell is the higher knowledge of knowing what's next and not following the trend of what's now.”

“I moved my studio to Palm Springs 'cause I don't like the idea of going to a studio every day like a job... I need to make a personal record, so I need to be in a house... I don't want to be in a studio where people can hear the music 'cause I don't know what it is yet.”
