The Architect of Sound: How London Jackson x Lilquest is Mastering the Gloomcore Renaissance
From Curator to Composer: Lilquest
BETHLEHEM, PA — For London Jackson, music has always been a language to be decoded. Long before he began actualizing the sounds within his own mind, Jackson—better known as Lilquest—was a fixture in the industry as a scout of elite talent. Having spent years identifying the "next big thing" across major labels and independent circles, Jackson is now turning that seasoned ear inward, distilling a lifetime of music theory into his most ambitious project's yet.
The Bethlehem, Pennsylvania native isn't interested in the fleeting trends of the charts. Instead, his work as Lilquest is an exploration of the Renaissance spirit—a deliberate attempt to encapture the shifting nature of the world through sound. Inspired by the evocative compositions of Amory Reel and Flawed Mangoes, Jackson has moved into a space he defines as Gloomcore, where the focus is on the raw, emotional power of piano and strings.
"I’ve spent my life navigating the mechanics of music and spotting talent in others," Jackson says of his journey. "But there was a specific noise in my head I could no longer keep contained. I used to think these sounds were just echoes, but they’re the foundation of everything I know."
