Who: Levi Hummon
Pop
Singer-songwriter Levi Hummon spent his early 20s practicing his art, but his immersion into countrymusic started much, much earlier. From the day he was born, his father Marcus Hummon, (one ofNashville’s most prolific GRAMMY-winning songwriters [The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts])immersed Leviin the music scene, and It didn’t take long to realize the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.At 24, Levi began releasing music of his own. Cleancut and compelling, he told stories of love and losswhile building a loyal fanbase that has grown with him through every bend and break. As a Nashvillenative who was inspired by the legacies around him and had an undeniable gift of songwriting, it was nosurprise that 5 years, 30 released songs, and 100 million streams later as an independent artist, Levi hadcreated a name for himself.In 2021, his viral Walker Hayes collaboration sensation “Paying for It” cemented Levi’s status as a risingcountry star. This sparked a new sense of confidence both on stage and in writing rooms that allowed himto discover the magnitude of his potential as an artist, and a new authentic version of Levi emerged. Hisfollow-up tunes, “Bottled Up,” “For Me,” “Good Riddance,” and “Drink On” are the product of just that.Hummon says, “taking risks, finding my own voice, and showing the scars and roughness around theedges allowed me to portray the most honest version of myself”.Coming off of his first headlining tour in the Fall of ‘21, Levi found himself to be in high demand in thespring and summer of 2022. Warming up the stage for acts like Hardy, Jordan Davis, Brett Eldridge, BrettYoung, and Dylan Scott, he was able to experience in person the effects of this momentum and thereward for being unapologetically himself.While listeners across genres are creating the demand now more than ever for both a 90’s countrycomeback and an early 2000’s alternative rock revival, Levi’s new music has established a unique lanepaved by both the influence of bands like Maroon 5, Weezer, and The Clash, and the Nashvillecommunity of songwriters he grew up with in his own backyard. As a country artist with now over 200million streams, pulling from his skateboarding past, counter culture nostalgia and surferaesthetic, Levi Hummon is paving the way for something big that hasn’t quite been seen before.While hellbent on carrying on the family legacy, Levi Hummon is very much here to write his own story.Named one of Entertainment Weekly’s “5 Artists Breaking Now” and Rolling Stone Country’s “One toWatch”, it looks like his biggest chapter yet is right around the corner.
