She is also known for her collaborations with the electronic music duo Bicep and for her enigmatic image.

## Career

La San grew up on the English countryside and learned classical piano as a child. She first began producing music using Logic Pro while attending university. Also while there, she released her first song, "Let You Go", on SoundCloud through the label Gang Fatale in 2014. It found success on the service and garnered her attention from record labels. Her song "In This Darkness" also became popular on SoundCloud. She was featured on the Scratcha DVA song "Pink22" in 2015 and on the extended play Fones by MssngNo in 2016. She released her debut mixtape, Good Mourning, in November 2017, but took it down two years later, later stating that "it didn't feel ready".
La San was featured on the electronic music duo Bicep's 2020 single "Saku" and their song "X", both of which appeared on their 2021 album Isles, and on their 2022 single "Water". She rereleased "Let You Go" on streaming platforms in 2021 and "In This Darkness" in 2023, with the latter song going viral on TikTok that year. She returned as a lead artist in March 2024 with the release of her first single through CLS Music, an imprint of AWAL, "Don't Worry About It". She was featured on Bryson Tiller's song "Random Access Memory (RAM)" from his self-titled album, which was also released in March 2024. Her self-produced and self-written debut studio album, Made Mistakes, was released on 7 June 2024.

## Musical style

La San's music is largely alternative R&B and bedroom pop. She has stated that her music is inspired by "rap that has a lot of synth melodies". She records her music using her laptop and a Neumann U 87 microphone. Tobias Hess of Paper described La San's music as "an ethereal R&B that has one foot in the early 2000s and the other in a time that doesn't exist yet" and Niall Byrne of Nialler9 called it "nocturnal R&B-pop". She also became known for her enigmatic presence online.
