ABOUT THE ARTIST
LUI is a rising artist who burst onto the streaming scene back in 2018 and is releasing his new single, ‘El Bandolero’, on all major streaming platforms! LUI’s parents escaped poverty in the slums of Peru by moving to America while he was still a child. Sadly LUI’s parents got divorced resulting in LUI spending some time in Virginia with his mother before moving to New Jersey with his father.
Before leaving, LUI’s mother gave him a guitar which he used to write his first song. Unfortunately, LUI’s mother succumbed to cancer soon after LUI graduated high school. Determined to keep his mother’s dream alive to have a better life, LUI honed his craft as a musician and songwriter to become the artist that he is today. Although he receives inspiration from a number of styles, LUI combines a variety of compositional elements to form his unique and authentic sound.
“My mom’s number one goal was for me to come to the U.S. and have a better life. One day in 2018 it clicked for me, her dreams and my passions could co-exist. I realized that music could provide the life my mother dreamed of for me, and I hit the ground running.”
LUI currently has twenty-eight releases in his Spotify discography. One of his most popular tracks, ‘PERU’, has amassed more than thirty-six thousand streams on Spotify alone since its recent release. With a growing number of listeners and having surpassed one million total streams last year, there is no denying the fact that LUI has developed a dedicated following of fans who will be eager to hear his latest single, ‘El Bandolero’.
