Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast - #68 w/ Luke Reyvn Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast (ESP)

- Music Interviews
On this episode we chat with up-and-coming pop/rock artist, Luke Revyn. Luke began his musical endeavors at a young age by playing in punk rock bands and recording demos with friends at his home in Hawaii. He simultaneously participated in school theatre and choir with early aspirations of becoming a professional entertainer, but a general sense of isolation and disconnect led to self-destructive behaviors which left Luke feeling further frustrated and detached. After struggling with school, substance abuse, and depression throughout his teens Luke decided to get clean and fully immerse himself in music, and on new years eve of 2021 the twenty year old songwriter boarded a plane headed for Los Angeles to fulfill a childhood dream. Originally from New Jersey, the now LA-based artist hopes to reach the masses and provide catharsis and comfort for youth struggling with addiction and feelings of alienation.
“The purpose of my music is to share my stories and life experiences to make a positive impact. I want to connect with as many listeners as I can, empower others to better their lives, and inspire those that need help to get it. I worked through a lot of inner struggles, and I’m passionate about mental health.”
We discuss Luke's broad array of influences, the impact his parents had cultivating his love of music, and his early desires to be a famous rockstar. Both his image and songs reflect his eclecticism and Reyvn's knowledge of bands is impressive. Right off the bat we were talking about his heavily patched denim jacket; he literally wears influences on his sleeve, and of course we dove right into talking about iconic classic rock titans like Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses and his all time favorite band, Led Zeppelin. Although clearly well versed and capable of churning out rock n' roll, Luke's eclectic palette spans beyond just the rock medium. We talk hip-hop and pop idols as well, and elements of these genres along with EDM & alternative stylings are apparent in his growing catalogue.
Very much a hands-on arranger, Luke is not afraid to follow his innate talent and experiment with a wide variety of recording techniques. Gritty distorted guitars and punk rock angst blend brilliantly with catchy pop melodies, slamming beats, modern production techniques, and a harmonious blend of meaningful and infectious hook-laden lyrics. 2021 saw a steady stream of catchy, viscerally emotive singles crafted by Luke along with powerhouse producers. Check out the immediately infectious Goodbye, Sweet Revenge & Kiss Me Girl and you'll get a sense of the multi-dimensional aspects of the music. Luke cites influences like Post Malone and Ed Sheeran, "artists who aren’t afraid to make big personal statements without being boxed in by labels or genres."
We're thrilled to release this podcast the same day as Luke's latest single, Another Day, which is accompanied by a brand new music video.
