Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Luke Collins. We're enthralled by the heartfelt and exciting atmosphere you've delivered in your recent single, "Tell You." What inspired you to write this modern-day pop ballad?
I'm a fairly talkative and outgoing person, but when I meet someone that I'm really taken by (romantically or otherwise) I tend to get a bit tongue-tied. "Tell You" is definitely about a specific person that made me feel that way; but ever since I wrote the song about a year and a half ago, I'm constantly finding new meaning in it whenever I meet people that spark those feelings of excitement and nervousness.
Did you produce the lively sonics yourself for "Tell You?” What vibe or atmosphere did you initially want the sonics and instrumentals to offer?
I almost exclusively create music as collaboration and Tell You was no exception; the demo was made during a summer weekend in Los Angeles with Jackie Young and Ben Byram. We started with a simple synth progression and immediately got drawn into that fun, flirty direction that you hear on the track. We wrote and tracked all of the vocals and lead guitars that same day. I spent a lot more time with the track this summer with my mix engineer and co-producer (John Anderson of Spectre Jones), adding in some fun synth hits and that bouncy 70’s style rhythm guitar that really lifts the energy of the song.
Was it easy for you to write such romantic and heartfelt lyrics for "Tell You?” Did you face any challenges when writing your lyrics, or was this process relatively straightforward?
My friends would absolutely say that I’m a bit of a sap, so writing a flirty and romantic song came somewhat naturally! But the narrative in the song is definitely more aspirational than realistic for me. The cool and collected tone of the speaker is something I could pull off on a good day, but I tend to be a bit of an overthinker usually. So saying “I don’t need to tell you, you just do what you do” over and over is probably something I’m more likely to say to myself in a mirror than to a girl in a bar.
Could you tell us a bit more about your artistic brand? How does your music reflect who you are and what you strive to represent as an artist?
I made this music as a way to reconnect with my passions and sense of belonging after a long period spent trying to find my place in life. I feel like oftentimes it is easy to get a little turned around during periods of transition; for me, it was college, and the few years directly following that left me mostly happy but certainly unfulfilled. In my music and the brand that I’ve built around it, I try to have as much fun as possible. Mainly because, well, I enjoy it, but also as an example of the joy that living in your passion can bring. I hope it inspires listeners to wholeheartedly pursue whatever it is that makes them feel most at home.
What's next for you?
There's a lot on the way! I'll release two more singles and a video or two this fall, and I have another batch of singles and a lot of live performances rolling out next spring. Plus tons of fun social content and a few fan giveaways in the works!
