Rich Lown

Rich Lown is a singer-songwriter from the south coast of England. He begins making music four years before the point described in his biography, and his songs are presented as moments of catharsis. His work is described as straightforward and honest, with a focus on personal feeling and reflection.

Albums and recordings

His album Starting From Now follows Rest of Our Lives, which appears two years earlier. Starting From Now is framed as a turning point in his work, with its title track reflecting change and uncertainty. He writes and records the album over a year, and it addresses personal turbulence as well as reassurance for listeners facing similar questions about life.

The album includes the vulnerable uncertainty of Somehow, the bittersweet honesty of Talk to Yourself, and the optimistic Drive. Rich Lown says he hopes each song reaches the right listener at the right time. After his last EP, he finds his voice and gains confidence to explore a wider sound while keeping a pure, honest approach.

Collaborations

Starting From Now includes a duet with pianist and singer Sam Wills, guitar parts from former Hurricane Party guitarist Robin Hirschfield, and production and mixing by Frankie Schulmeyer. These collaborations add depth to his music.

Career recognition

He reaches the grand final of Open Mic UK after beating more than 10,000 other hopefuls. Open Mic UK is described as the country’s largest unsigned solo artist talent search. He is presented as an artist developing his sound and aiming to reach as many people as possible.
