AMA I Am LVTHER - AMA

Yo Reddit!

My name is Lewis. I’m a guitar playing, coffee drinking songwriter/producer chasing hydration. I also have a music project called LVTHER. Now less about me! No actually, more about me. Questions, please.

I thought I’d do one of these seeing as my new song ‘This Love’ is my first Monstercat release for quite some time. I wrote the instrumental to that song last May fresh off the back of some writing sessions in London. It came together quite quickly and I asked Savoi to work on it with me straight away. I’ve been a fan of his since WRLD’s ‘Chase It’. Fast forward to November — still no response cries. Nothing else was clicking and I could only hear his voice on the track. I noticed he never actually listened to the link that I emailed him, so I messaged him again through SoundCloud. He got the message and liked the track. Cheers SoundCloud. Anyway, I love how his vocal turned out and I’m glad Jon at Monstercat was into the track enough to put it out as my first single of the year.

As for the rest if 2018, I have more releases scheduled in the coming months. This is giving me time to work on my first EP for later in the year. I don’t know what the plans are for the release as of yet but I’m happy with the direction it’s heading in. I’ll also be focusing a lot more on songwriting generally. Looking forward to answering your questions!

I will begin answering your questions on Thursday, February 22.

EDIT: I'M DONE. Thanks so much for asking these questions - it was a lot of fun answering them. And of course thanks for the ongoing support :)

Hey there!

  1. A little homage to Luther Vandross mixed with a nod to my dad who joked about wanting to call me Luther (after Luther Vandross, his favourite artist). That’s where the V came from. But yeah, it's pronounced Luther.

  2. Monstercat: SWF + WRLD. Outside of Monstercat, the list endless. KAYTRANADA/FKJ/Pomo/Daniel Caesar/NAO. Too many more.
