Layton Greene

Layton Greene (born December 4, 1998) is an American R&B singer from East St. Louis, Illinois. Quotes I just didn’t know when or how it was going to happen with all I was going through. Me putting that into my music is not only helping me, but it helps others. I felt that it was important to tell my story, because that’s what molded me as a person. I want to inspire people who might be going through the same things and tell them they’re going through it for a reason. When we first moved to Illinois, we were living with my dad’s family. He raised me because my biological father wasn’t in the picture. It was a full house with like 13 of us. All the girls stayed in one room. We lived there for six years, but then my mom, dad, older brother, and I moved to the projects until I moved to Knoxville. I would say my childhood was lonely. My older brother didn’t wanna play with me, my dad was working as the only one bringing in money, and my mom suffers from bi-polar depression because of her past. She slept most of my childhood away. I couldn’t go outside. I was homeless at the time I was working at Wingstop. It was me, my mom, and brother living out of a motel. I was working 24/7 as a senior in high school. My grades were slipping, and when I went, I wasn’t paying attention. I quit school and then ran away with a guy before I turned 18. I felt like these were major events that molded me and made me as strong as I am. I felt it was important for me to let it out. It made me feel better because it was weighing down on me. I really never talked to nobody about it before this. I didn’t have those conversations about what was going on [with family]. They usually hit me up and say they love the new songs, but it’s crickets right now. I think they don’t know what to say.
