George Lamond (born George Garcia, February 25, 1967), sometimes styled George LaMond, is an American freestyle music and salsa music singer.

LaMond has released seven albums (five via Sony Music) between 1990 and 2014. Best known for his 1990 number 25 Billboard Hot 100 debut, "Bad of the Heart" and his number one 1999 salsa smash, "Que Te Vas", he also had a 2008 local radio hit with "Don't Stop Believin'".

Early life

Lamond was born George Garcia in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. He moved to his parents' native Puerto Rico at age 2. He remained in Puerto Rico until the age of 7, at which point the family (which included eight other siblings) returned to the contiguous U.S., settling in The Bronx, where he primarily grew up. The song was an underground success, so the producers and label co-owners, Mark Liggett and Chris Barbosa, sought a major record label deal for Lamond. and the album produced mildly successful follow-up singles "Look Into My Eyes" and "No Matter What", the latter of which is a duet with Brenda K. Starr that reached the top 50 of the Hot 100. Tommy Boy Records)
