Golden Landis Von Jones (born November 13, 2000), professionally recognized as 24kGoldn, is an American rapper who first gained widespread attention with his 2019 track "Valentino". This single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart, achieved double platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and led to his signing with Barry Weiss' Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records. His subsequent 2020 hit, "Mood" featuring Iann Dior, reached the top position on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a key release supporting his debut album El Dorado (2021), which experienced moderate commercial success.
Early life and education
Born in San Francisco, California, Golden Landis Von Jones is the son of Kimberly Landis, who is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and Torino Von Jones, an African-American father practicing Catholicism. Both of his parents worked as fashion models. Growing up, he celebrated both Christmas and Hanukkah and attended Hebrew school. His early involvement in music included participation in school choirs and acting in commercials. Initially, he considered pursuing a career as a hedge fund manager. He completed his studies at Lowell High School in 2018.
24kGoldn enrolled at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business and became a member of the Beta-Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity during the spring of 2019. He later took a hiatus from his studies to dedicate more time to his music career but maintained ties to campus life to nurture relationships and remain grounded amid his fast-growing success in the music industry.
Career
In 2017, 24kGoldn debuted his first music video for "Trappers Anthem". By January 2019, he released "Valentino", which amassed over 350 million streams on Spotify. His initial record deal was secured through producer D.A. Doman. The energetic "Valentino" served as his breakthrough track, although by 2020 he expressed that it no longer represented his evolving artistic identity. November 2019 saw the release of his first EP, Dropped Outta College, alongside signing contracts with Records, LLC and Columbia Records.
In 2020, he further elevated his profile with the single "City of Angels", which was sent to US alternative radio stations in March and later remixed featuring English singer-songwriter Yungblud in May. Additionally, on May 20, he appeared on Olivia O'Brien's remix of "Josslyn".
On August 11, 2020, 24kGoldn was named in XXL's 2020 Freshman Class, ranking tenth after securing the highest number of fan votes. Later that month, his July single "Mood" featuring Iann Dior climbed to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In October 2020, he participated in Halloween in Hell, a fictional musical horror podcast alongside artists including Iann Dior, Machine Gun Kelly, Dana Dentata, Phem, and Tommy Lee.
His debut studio album El Dorado was released on March 26, 2021. The album contains thirteen tracks with guest features from Future, Iann Dior, Swae Lee, and DaBaby; its deluxe edition added collaborations with Lil Tecca and Travis Barker.
On March 11, 2024, he revealed plans for the EP Growing Pains along with its cover art; the project was released on March 15, 2024.
Artistry
24kGoldn's musical output encompasses various genres, reflecting his intention to "never ... be limited by a single genre." He explains that his sound shifts according to each individual track. He acknowledges rapper Paypa Boy & 24Kay along with Reckless Rinoe as significant influences in his formative years and initial foray into music production.
