THE THIRD SON

Larry Borum III, known professionally as The Third Son, (aka Third) is a versatile producer, singer/songwriter, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Detroit, Michigan and based in Chicago, Illinois. His music is a distinctive blend of his diverse influences, which span from Hip-Hop, Jazz, RnB, House and Alternative Rock.

​

Third’s musical journey began early, with his involvement in his church choir and his initial lessons in drums, guitar, and piano. During high school, he delved into music production by experimenting with loops in Garageband and creating beats with iMaschine. While studying Engineering Physics at Eastern Michigan University, he released his first beat tape, "B3AT TAPE," on SoundCloud, crafted entirely on his iPad. As a producer, Third has collaborated with artists such as Asaka the Renegade, Raven, Dango Forlaine, Ronnie Alpha, and Rose Thornberry. In 2018, he began writing his singles “I Remember” and “Retro,” which evoke the vibrant pop culture of the 90s and 2000s.

​

His debut album, A Real Love Concept, presents a groundbreaking exploration of applying the principles of electrical circuits to human relationships, objects, and the essence of love itself. Third also released his first house album in collaboration with his father Sho-nuff titled Journeys. Currently, Third is working on his next project that is expected to drop next year.

Third’s journey, from his early experimentation to his debut innovative album, underscores his exceptional talent, dedication, and vision for creating a unique musical niche.
