About Me


SPREAD THE WORD...SHARE THE VIDEO! WHAT DOES IT MEAN 2 U?

ONE SON : R&B/Soul Music with a deep Hip Hop influence; smooth, strong vocals with powerful lyrics are the essence of this student of music. He is a disciple of the soul movement within the music industry.

Aside from being a vocalist, ONE SON is a well-rounded artist. Born Victor-Leland Sambale Acosta, Honolulu, Hawaii, this HIP HOP/Soul singer is a break from the typical music artists of today. With his singing/songwriting/producing abilities he is a voice that will make an impact to the necessary change within the music industry.

While living a portion of his childhood on the East Coast, he was primarily raised in San Diego, CA. Since birth, he was surrounded by the music of legends like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Elton John, and Nat King Cole, later inspired by the likes of New Edition, Boyz II Men, Troop, Jodeci, DAngelo, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def and Talib Kweli. At a very young age music moved him, especially, Popular Music, R&B, and Hip Hop. If he wasnt B-Boyn with the other kids in the neighborhood, he was singing in the school choir. As time progressed, he learned to play the saxophone where he discovered his appreciation for Jazz Music.

Putting all of the pieces together, ONE SON is an artist bred from the influences of music and life experiences. He is a true lyricist, an advocate for deep felt lyrics and songs possessing beats and melodies that move the soul. He prides himself on making positive music about life, love, and relationships. With them he feels in unison, thus, the name ONE SON. As a spiritual person, the name takes on different meanings such as ONE SON of God, he is ONE SON of the Lord, and there is one sun that shines upon this world.

ONE SON and the music are continually growing. Keep your ears open and you'll hear that the fruit is ripe.
