Louis VI

‘Starting as a jazz drummer but steeped in underground hip hop and grime, his work reflects all of these sounds and more in it’s free-flowing creativity’ - Clash Magazine With his last project SUGAR LIKE SALT on over 4M streams featuring Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Mick Jenkins, Jowin (Isaiah Rashad's producer), David Mrakpor, Emile Martinez, Melo-Zed etc, & recently coming off tour with Chicago rapper SABA, performing in front of 1600 people, Louis VI's live streak has earned him a name as performer, with VIPER Magazine saying: "What we are seeing in Louis VI is a pioneer of a sound - what we witnessed was far less performance as it was an experience - (he) produced a show that encapsulates unconventional instrumentation, aided by the use of jazz-soaked synths and steeped in Motown-esque reverberation" The mixed-race (parents from Dominica, France, Scotland & Italy) North London born & raised rapper & producer is showing he is more than ready to be the bridge between Jazz & Hip hop, the UK & America. “Unquestionably one of the most original and promising bodies of work hailing from the UK right now” – VIPER MAGAZINE ‘It sounds like if Miles Davis was still alive and collaborating with rappers.’ - Highsnobiety ‘It’s not every day when music-heads come across a fresh rap record with deep classical jazz roots in 2018’ - Vibe Magazine ‘Louis VI’s razor sharp, unique delivery is placed centre stage as he explores the intricacies of his own identity.’ - Line of Best Fit
