He has shared the stage with many musical icons, such as PM Dawn, Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Joe, Jennifer Hudson, Brian McKnight and Jennifer Lopez. Keeping in tune with his Gospel roots, he is affiliated with the legendary "Los Angeles Gospel Messengers", a community choir founded by the late Rev. James Cleveland. In 2009, LaMont was featured on FOX's "Good Day LA" Christmas morning concert. In 2011, he performed with a flash-mob routine to a Jennifer Hudson feature of "Everybody Needs Love" at the 25th annual Palms Springs Pride celebration where he also headlined on the main stage. In 2011, LaMont and original "Dream Girl" and actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, collaborated in the studio and recorded renditions of "Still Standing", a song co-written by LaMont and inspired by Sheryl's 21 year old HIV/AIDS awareness foundation called, "The Diva Foundation".
