Lu Priest is a growing independent artist of the music industry; his curious and adventurous nature led him to start writing music from the age of 13 to 14, where he was in a constant longing of trying new things. He grew up as an only child with a single mother and a grandmother, a moderate household in the Co-op city of New York. He was born in Jersey but grew up in Bron and ever since 2015, he’s been around the studios with his mate Raxx to pursue their love for this art form.

Lu Priest describes his music as up-tempo turn-up music; his lyrical notes are distinctive in regard to narrating a story or an incident just by the words. You have to listen closely, and you’ll get the gist behind the creation of that song. He wants his songs to make sense; he wants people to derive meaning from them instead of just some words on a beat that are cryptic.

Since our artist likes to give his songs a background, he goes through an extensive creative process where he considers a beat and evaluates if he can hit a bop to it. If the melodies align and the beat catches a good flow, he begins to write. Lu Priest can be inspired anywhere; all he has to do is open up the voice memos or notes and put that down; it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, as it can be molded and finessed into something extraordinary later.

Lu Priest managed to be steadfast even in his testing times, It wasn’t rough, but it wasn’t easy either. He was restricted from certain areas because of where he was from; rowdy schools, gunshots, and being an only child were challenging for him. Yet, the artist consumed his time indulging in sports; anybody that knows him knows Lu Priest is an athlete at heart. Taking part in games such as football, basketball, baseball, or even boxing, he was a champ who prepared himself for whatever lies ahead, making him resilient and successful in his musical career path.

Lu Priest has become the successful artist he is today by constantly deriving inspiration from his family and peers. He reminisced when he jammed with his mother blasting music with his father, who used to make music back in his day. The connection derived from the gangsta music was his motivation to create music. Around his peers, freestyling and playing around with lyrical notes helped him set his mind on what the artist could do. He always had a gut feeling can do it; it was time to prove to himself what more he was capable of.

You can expect the artist to keep coming out with versatile music with an aggressive and deep tone on a hard knock beat. He wants to prove that he can switch up his style, flow, tempo, transition, and melody. Stay tuned for the upcoming heartfelt songs where he expresses his emotions and sentiments with contemporary pain.
