Landon Barker has signed with Big Loud Rock and is set to release his first single on the imprint, “If I Ever Talk to God,” on Friday, Variety can exclusively reveal.
“I haven’t released music in a couple of years, and during that time, I went through a lot creatively and personally,” says Barker in a statement to Variety. The 22-year-old has been teasing the single on social media the past month, and with his signing to Big Loud Rock, he joins a roster that includes Hardy, Jagwar Twin and Girl Tones. “This song feels like the right way to come back. Seeing how people have already connected with it online has made me even more excited to finally put it out.”
For his upcoming releases, Barker worked with collaborators including Gian Stone (Maroon 5, Justin Bieber), J Moon (Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato) and Michael Kamerman (Smallpools).
The musician, son of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, got his start in music a few years ago with a guest appearance on MGK’s 2022 song “Die in California” alongside Young Thug and Gunna. In 2023, he signed with his father’s Elektra imprint DTA Records to release his debut single “Friends With Your Ex” in 2023, followed by “Over You” the next year.
“Landon represents everything we love about the next generation of artists,” says Joey Moi, Big Loud Rock co-founder and president. “He’s confident, hardworking, and committed to forging his own path. We believe this music is going to introduce listeners to a whole new side of him, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to Big Loud Rock.”
“It feels good to be starting this next chapter with Big Loud Rock,” adds Barker. “They really believe in what I’m building, and having a team that understands my vision makes me excited for everything that’s coming next.”
