One of music’s brightest new voices has taken the next step in his career. After riding an impressive wave thanks to his 2016 breakout hit “Frustrated,” R.LUM.R (pronounced R-Lamar) has officially released his new EP. Reggie Williams Jr. spent years training as a classical guitarist before hitting the Orlando bar circuit as an acoustic troubadour. "I was doing my best John Mayer impersonation, essentially," he says. The dense electronic production he records as R.Lum.R was discovered accidentally during an experiment writing songs to potentially pitch to artists like Jason DeRulo and Chris Brown.
"The last year of college was one of the hardest years of my life because of all the trepidation: I had built up my whole life to be this classical guy, and people understood me to be this thing," he says. "You're essentially just doing a completely different thing, and you don't know if people are going to go with you on that. I figured, why keep studying commercial music, why not go do it? The same thing happened when I switched over from Reggie Williams music to R.Lum.R. I started doing this as a side project, and I didn't know people were going to react so strongly. But I really like lots of types of music. Why not explore them?"A1 Love Less
