Livingston

Music means many things to Livingston. It’s an escape from the trials and tribulations of daily life. It’s a blank canvas for dreams to manifest upon. Most of all, it’s proof that anything is possible. Akin to building a rocket ship in a suburban backyard, the 21-year-old Denton, TX singer, songwriter, and producer creates handcrafted outlier pop teeming with big screen-worthy orchestration, arena-size ambition, open-hearted lyricism, and sky-high hooks. His words strike a deep chord, whether booming through your speakers or sung from the stage to a sold out crowd. An uncanny ability to empower listeners to realize their potential has accelerated Livingston’s ascent as a world-building alt-pop music maverick in 2024. As a kid, he felt a lot of love from his parents and two siblings, but he went through hell at school for “being different.”Despite ceaseless bullying and teachers who just didn’t understand, he found solace in music. He endured his first heartbreak, weathered teenage loneliness, and poured his pain into a MacBook Pro, writing, producing, and performing music out of his childhood bedroom. At barely 17-years-old, he introduced himself to the masses with a pair of debut EPs Lighthouse [2020] and An Unlikely Origin Story [2021]. Among various highlights, “Fairytale” resonated with 50 million-plus streams, and he collaborated with everyone from Macklemore to Louis The Child.
