Landon Pigg was born in Nashville, Tennessee. His father was a studio veteran and his mother fond of poetry. When Pigg was a child, his family moved to Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, and he and two of his siblings, Cari-Ann and Gabriel, sang commercial jingles with their father's direction. They all attended Grace Lutheran School in River Fores, Illinois. Landon returned to Nashville as a teenager and applied himself to interests such as algebra and chemistry. He attended Christ Presbyterian Academy in River Forest, Illinois. During Landon's adolescence, it was his father who offered him informal music education and encouraged his curiosity with music. He also credits his mother for nourishing his poetic side.
