St. Lundi

At the age of 20, St. Lundi left his hometown of Hayling Island (off the coast of Portsmouth, UK), to follow his dream of becoming an artist. Employment opportunities were limited on 'The Island' and whilst working in a petrol station and living with his grandparents, he left with under £100 in his bank account, booking a 1 way ticket to London.

Within 24 hours he ran out of money, but played an open mic night, where luckily he was spotted by some Australian backpackers who offered him a couch to stay on at their West London digs. This couch became St. Lundi's home for the next 9 months, intermittently being relegated to sleeping in a stairwell when his hosts were partying.

He soon found a job as a teaching assistant at a local school for children with learning disabilities and started building a life for himself – whilst also following his dreams – gracing the stages of basement venues and open mic nights throughout London in the evenings.

At this point, he was spotted by his manager and label owner, Tom Rose, who helped discover/had a hand in launching Au/Ra, Declan J Donovan, Moncrieff, Yungblud and many others. After signing, they started working on a debut EP in late 2019. St. Lundi's debut single was released in March 2020, one week before the UK entered full lockdown.

Whilst this spelled disaster for many, it was an excellent opportunity for St. Lundi to hone his skills as a songwriter. He was set up with a home studio, started learning piano (having previously only played guitar) and booked in for several remote writing sessions a week over this lockdown period. After just a couple of months, his first big break happened, with Kygo taking a song he wrote called 'To Die For' and releasing it on his 2020 Gold selling album 'Golden Hour.' Later in 2020, he also featured on Seeb's Platinum awarded album 'Sad In Scandinavia' with a song called 'Colourblind.'

In 2021, St. Lundi penned his most impactful song to date titled 'Nights Like This.' The song documents his first date with his first (and only) love, Josefine. The song entered the radio charts in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway and Portugal, as well as amassing over 70 million streams. Fans from all over the world have used this song as a first dance at their weddings and soundtracked their romances, a fact that he is very proud of.

In 2022, with the world opening back up again, St. Lundi focussed on building a live following and played around 100 shows across Europe, supporting Kodaline, Tom Gregory and Leon, whilst working on new material in his rare downtime. This culminated in his debut headline tour, pulling small but enthusiastic audiences of 100-150 people a night across the UK, BeNeLux and GSA in Feb 2023. Around this time, he released 'Ready To Be Loved,' which was the first song to be presented to UK radio and instantly picked up B-list rotation on BBC Radio 2. This was followed by another GSA tour with German chart-topping ClockClock and another single 'Fall,' which was again added to the BBC Radio 2 playlist.

Throughout 2023, St. Lundi has been perfecting his debut album 'The Island,' which is set for release on May 10th 2024. In the interim, St. Lundi is planning a christmas single titled 'Alone At Christmas,' which will be performed alongside a full choir and recorded in his hometown. The song will be in partnership with the local charity Portsmouth Food Bank, who will receive all profits from the recording and we have a activations planned over the christmas period to build a stronghold following in his hometown of Portsmouth, including performances at Christmas Light switch ons, collaborations with Pompey FC and community base initiatives.

4 singles will be released ahead of the album from early 2024 and this will be backed up with a European promo tour, as well as a second European tour, set for later that year.
