Born Aaron Earl Livingston, Son Little first came to international prominence with his self-titled debut which was released in 2015 on ANTI- Records. While Little's collaborations with The Roots and RJD2 had already helped him make a name for himself by that point in his adopted hometown of Philadelphia, critics on both sides of the pond were quick to recognize the unique power of Little's solo recordings, which stripped the past for parts that could be reconstituted into something wholly new and original. NPR hailed Little's "impeccably crafted songs" as "honest and unpretentious," while The Independent proclaimed him "a formidable talent," and Vice declared that he was "dissolving the barrier between R&B and rock 'n' roll one tearjerker at a time."

Never one to rest on his laurels, Little showed off his production chops the following year, earning a Grammy for his work helming Mavis Staples' acclaimed "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," and in 2017, he released a critically lauded sophomore album, New Magic, which Paste said "did for the blues what Sharon Jones did for soul music."

Little followed his 2020 album aloha with the single "Phantom Killer." Auto-tuned vocals, acoustic guitar & lo-fi percussion on the track show Son Little's progress in a new musical direction.
