Ferus Presents: Levi Hummon

Singer-songwriter Levi Hummon spent his early 20s practicing his art, but his immersion intocountry music started much, much earlier. From the day he was born, his father MarcusHummon, (one of Nashville’s most prolific GRAMMY-winning songwriters [The Dixie Chicks, TimMcGraw, Rascal Flatts]) immersed Levi in the music scene, and It didn't take long to realize theapple didn't fall far from the tree. At 24, Levi began releasing music of his own. Cleancut and compelling, he told stories of loveand loss while building a loyal fanbase that has grown with him every bend and break. As aNashville native who was inspired by the legacies around him and had an undeniable gift ofsongwriting, it was no surprise that 5 years, 30 released songs, and 100 million streams later asan independent artist, Levi had created a name for himself. In 2021, his viral Walker Hayes collaboration sensation “Paying for It” cemented Levi’s status asa rising country star. This sparked a new sense of confidence both on stage and in writing roomsthat allowed him to discover the magnitude of his potential as an artist, a new authentic versionof Levi emerged. His follow-up tunes, “Bottled Up,” “For Me,” “Good Riddance,” and “Drink On”are the product of just that. Hummon says, “taking risks, finding my own voice, and showing thescars and roughness around the edges allowed me to portray the most honest version ofmyself”. Coming off of his first headlining tour in the Fall of ‘21, Levi found himself to be in high demandin the spring and summer of 2022. Warming up the stage for acts like Hardy, Jordan Davis, BrettEldridge, Brett Young, and Dylan Scott, he was able to experience in person the effects of thismomentum and the reward for being unapologetically himself. While listeners across genres are creating the demand now more than ever for both a 90’scountry comeback and an early 2000’s alternative rock revival, Levi’s new music has establisheda unique lane dredged by his own nostalgia of bands like Maroon 5, Weezer, and The Clash, thatwill be sure to satisfy the fans of both. As a country artist with now over 160 Million streams,pulling from his skateboarding past, counter culture ideologies, and surfer aesthetic, LeviHummon is paving the way for something big that hasn't quite been seen before. While hellbent on carrying on the family legacy, Levi Hummon is very much here to write hisown story. Named one of Entertainment Weekly’s “5 Artists Breaking Now” and Rolling StoneCountry’s “One to Watch”, it looks like his biggest chapter yet is right around the corner.
