We had the pleasure of interviewing Levi Hummon over Zoom video!

Singer-songwriter Levi Hummon spent his early 20s practicing his art, but his immersion into country music started much, much earlier. From the day he was born, his father Marcus Hummon, (one of Nashville\u2019s most prolific GRAMMY-winning songwriters [The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts]) immersed Levi in 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 loss while building a loyal fanbase that has grown with him through every bend and break. As a Nashville native who was inspired by the legacies around him and had an undeniable gift of songwriting, it was no surprise that 5 years, 30 released songs, and 100 million streams later as an independent artist, Levi had created a name for himself.

In 2021, his viral Walker Hayes collaboration sensation \u201cPaying for It\u201d cemented Levi\u2019s status as a rising country star. This sparked a new sense of confidence both on stage and in writing rooms that allowed him to discover the magnitude of his potential as an artist, and a new authentic version of Levi emerged. His follow-up tunes, \u201cBottled Up,\u201d \u201cFor Me,\u201d \u201cGood Riddance,\u201d and \u201cDrink On\u201d are the product of just that. Hummon says, \u201ctaking risks, finding my own voice, and showing the scars and roughness around the edges allowed me to portray the most honest version of myself\u201d.

Coming off of his first headlining tour in the Fall of \u201821, Levi found himself to be in high demand in the spring and summer of 2022. Warming up the stage for acts like Hardy, Jordan Davis, Brett Eldridge, Brett Young, and Dylan Scott, he was able to experience in person the effects of this momentum and the reward for being unapologetically himself.

While listeners across genres are creating the demand now more than ever for both a 90\u2019s country comeback and an early 2000\u2019s alternative rock revival, Levi\u2019s new music has established a unique lane paved by both the influence of bands like Maroon 5, Weezer, and The Clash, and the Nashville community of songwriters he grew up with in his own backyard. As a country artist with now over 160 million streams, pulling from his skateboarding past, counter culture nostalgia and surfer aesthetic, 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\u2019s \u201c5 Artists Breaking Now\u201d and Rolling Stone Country\u2019s \u201cOne to Watch\u201d, it looks like his biggest chapter yet is right around the corner.
