Regarding the pros and cons of working closely with his famous dad, Landon told the publication, "I mean, if the song's incredible, everyone's going to be like, 'It's because he got help from his dad.' " He then explained, "If the song's horrible, everybody's going to be like, 'He's not as good as his dad.' "
"So I just take the internet with a grain of salt," he continued elaborating. "Try not to look too far into the comments, and look for the people who are really moved by my music and interested in it, and want to see what I can do for myself, as myself.
