Livingston music / @livingstonmusic Last Man Standing • Livingston - Last Man ... show some love for this artist! you should check more of his music out. #reaction #livingston #musicreactions
He has a lot of short clip of his songs out and recently he put out an album. He is amazing and in the short clips he is either introducing his song to his grandpa, friends, family or even his music teachers. And in one song he changes his voice as if it’s two people. Would love to see more of him. He’s a bit of a dark horse. Hard to find background details on him, but worth a try. 🎼🎹🎤
He was born Drake John Livingston Jr. He is 21 years old I believe. He had been overweight as a kid with a milld form of oshburghers. He was teased a lot as a teen and love of music, thanks to mom being a musician, had her own band called Proud Ruby. He wrote music as an escape . From what I know of Livingston he got his first record deal when he was 15 or 16 he literally wrote all his songs from the age of 13. He wrote over 200 songs but basically only his mom and family heard. His mom is a musician. They live in Denton, Texas near the greatest jazz colleges UT. He loves God and dont swear. He has been with the same girlfriend since 14. Going back to when he got signed, he did a song called "Fairytale and sent it out to some artist he admired and sent the demo to them. Soon thereafter Livingston he got signed he did a lot of covers but his artistically his sound was no longer there. So he gave up his music because he felt like an imposter. He felt his love of creating and making music died, Fast forward years later he rediscovers hisself and his sound.had Suffered. He stopped for 4 years Strted making music again in 2020 had album Lighthouse, Fairytale, War, Sandcastle, Young Carnivale, Say the Word. after that Album he was not happy and this is what considers his Debut Album. Now the love of music is back. I believe you will love his new Album from which you can hear him put his heart and soul in it, His Album Debut is called :"A Hometown Odyessy. I also believe you could do an interview with him and your audience would love it. He is very humble but amazing. I hope you enjoyed the information about Livingston -Greatest Singer Ever!
Thanks so much he for his background! Fell in love with his music & lyrics…then realize the relief of no filthy guttural (CardiB type) language…just pure TALENT & PASSION!! 😊
I was literally going to put what you said on there everything that you said ❤, and the reason why he's not overweight no more is because he took a year or something off to lose the weight and now he actually has the look
I absolutely love this young man’s music 🎼.. I pray blessings for him.. May God use him for his glory.. Drake makes music worth listening to for me again.. I have been listening and wanting to purchase his music!! Can’t wait😁.
I agree that his voice is phenomenal -- absolutely! But I want to acknowledge the beautiful soul that he shows in the poetry he has written and set to music. He truly comes across as a glorious human being, and when you know more about the challenges he faced growing up, both with being neurodivergent (on the spectrum), as well as bullies and the resulting anxiety, it's possible to love him even more. His music has clearly been enriched by the sensitivity those early difficulties taught him. And for the record, I agree that he has an amazing voice -- I trained in vocals for almost 2 decades, and his voice still gives me goosebumps!
Yes! I commented about how I feel like a front-runner is career. I found out he's going on his first tour ever I think and he's going to be in Austin Texas which is around an hour away from me and his general tickets were only $17.50 🤩 and his backstage VIP soundcheck meet the artist package for only $97. I mean I honestly am not a concert person and I don't know if that's a normal price or not but for a voice like his I booked it. 😊
Same here. I'm 62, heard a line from "Shadow" the day before he dropped the full song and can't get the purity of this kid's voice and lyrics out of my head.
We are one step if not 100 in front of you. He plays for his family and his friends and he is humble yet confident. He is amazingly talented. You want a shocker? Look at him a few years ago. He has completely shaped himself up. Puberty was not so kind but man is he gonna have the ladies after him now. I hope he gets the notoriety he has worked for. Self promoting but not self absorbed. I love him
This is my new favorite singer. I found him several weeks ago, and I went to his website and listen to everything that he has created. He is beyond talented and take the time to listen to other pieces of his work everything resonates… are the sky deserves every ounce of success. He has coming to him. My favorite is his song about Anxiety
HUge transition for Livingston. His voice has matured over the years and so has his physicality. AMAZING voice. He needs to be on everyones radar. Such a real, different voice.
My husband and I found him 4 weeks ago and are hooked. We cannot get enough of him. He very much a family man. He incLudes all his friends in his reels and his girl friend.
FIRST TIME I SWA HIM TOOK MY BREATHE AWAY.. SENT CHILLS IN MY SOUL . HE IS A Rising STAR NO DOUBT.. SOON YOU'LL SEE HIM UP THERE IN THE GRATS.!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL. 🎶🎵🎶🎵❤❤❤❤
SUGGESTION: just for fun, go back and watch his older videos.... and focus on the incredible transition that he's made.... both physically AND in his music style AND how he "seemed" shy and introverted.... AND THEN BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE MORPHS INTO THIS SINGING AND MUSIC POWERHOUSE.... TRULY AMAZING!!! AND MY WIFE AND I ARE IN LOVE WITH HIS LYRICS..... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm an "older man" now and years ago when I was in Japan in the Air Force... we listened to Michael Jackon's release of Billie Jean and his other songs.... AND WE ALL SAID.... HOLY #$#$#$#$##$#$$F!!!!!! Then when my wife and I got married years later.... we said HOLY #$#$#$#$### when Adam Lampert came out!!! AND NOW............. LIVINGSTON IS MAKING US SAY THE SAME THING..... HOLY #$#$#$#$#$$#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN'T STOP SINGING HIS LYRICS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SO SO SO NATURAL.... AND EASY TO REMEMBER AND SING... JUST LIKE IN OLD DAYS!! MAY GOD BLESS HIM UNTIL THE END OF TIME... BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW.... MUSIC BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER.... AND WE PRAY HE DOESN'T "GO TO THE DARK SIDE!!" Amen Retired, Veteran
I KNOW I AM FORMER MUSIC BUSINESS PERSON TO SOME EXTENT IN NASHVILLE AND I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE HE DOESN'T SIGN WITH SOME SCUM BAG THAT RUINS WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT HIM.......
@@Artsylady2030 AGREED ONE BILLION PERCENT!!! Idea: since you're "in the music industry".... maybe he would listen to you if you sent him an email (it should be on his RU-vid Channel under "contact') and told him about all the negatives in the industry. It 'might" work. Maybe, just maybe, since he has his own recording studio at home.... and his Mom is into music... he'll stay independent and just do RU-vid, streaming etc. I don't know the industry that well but it sounds like a good idea. If "Mr Beast" on RU-vid is projected to make $250 MILLION THIS YEAR ALONE.... then Livingston can do the same!! Amen Happy Easter God Bless Jesus and His Incredible Sacrifices For Us! Retired, Veteran
@@BowenOrg I would love to help him..but I think his parents are probably handling things for him....I just hope he doesn't give up his style to get a deal....
I am 55 and discovered him recently (2024). I have noticed many Gen Z and Baby Boomers love his music. I remember musicians like this back in my youth. Pure notes, good lyrics (clean) and something that one can hum all day.
Hey Jason Hey ~ I Love Listening To #Livingston Play More Especially His Song #SHADOW OMG His Voice Is So Powerful He Sounds Like 3 People In One Spiritual Body I Love #Livingston ❤️ 🎉 #Bermuda Tuned In. His Blessed.
This kid is definitely going places. I literally got goosebumps the first time I heard his voice. Spotify has all his songs and they are all awesome. He has come a long way. He was the fat kid in school that was bullied and suffered from anxiety. And he dealt with those experiences through his music. He's my new hero. Just phenomenal.
I have fallen in love with this guy's music as well. I have been following him for some time now. I loved the first song I heard which was "Shadow". As I was doing some video research on him, I came across his "My Story" video. This video made me realize why I was drawn in so quickly. I am a para in a special education setting. I saw some things that I recognized in him which is what caused me to research him. I'm going to say right off the top that most of our kids do not have the support of their parents. Livingston's mother and family have obviously been supporting him for some time now, which is how he has become such an expert at what he does. These kids just need the right people to help mold and shape the gifts that already exist in their lives.
He’s incredible!!! I can’t stop listening to his music. So much passion and depth of soul when he sings, it sets my mind free again!!! Retires my innocence
The first song I heard by Livingston was Shadows. I fell in love with his voice immediately. I've not heard a song by him, now, that I haven't loved to my core. This song in particular makes me cry. It reminds me of my late husband and how much I loved/love him. Livingston put into words how I really felt/feel about my husband. Such a remarkable human being. We need more like Livingston.
I loved his singing from the very first time I heard him ❤ I had to immediately google him so I didn't loose him, I'm 66 and not very tech savvy 😊 A lot of things I enjoy hearing or seeing are gone unless I heart it right away and I am so excited that this kid has a natural talent and is very well mannered (good job mom) and he loves his parents❤❤❤ win/win
I found him on RU-vid about a month ago. He just released an album. I am 72, and I love his songs. Sent it to my daughter, who will be 50, and she loves him. Sent it to my 22 year old granddaughter, and she loves him. He appeals to all ages. He said his Mother showed him how to make a song. Also videos on RU-vid where he has friends give him a few random words and makes a song out of them. You should follow him. He's amazing. If someone in the music business doesn't snap him up, they aren't very bright.
I have recently stumbled across Livingston as well. He is truly gifted. He has been working on his first album released for 5 years from a studio at home and he also has an SUV studio. He posts a lot of clips introducing his songs the most recent is "shadow" witches incredible. From what I've gathered he was once bullied a lot he was a bigger boy and has now grown into a fit young man. I love the different interactions with his mother and father and friends who he always introduces his songs to first. Please listen to shadow..... It is mesmerizing. The lyrics and the music come from his soul. The Lord has truly gifted us with Livingston's gifts.
I love this man. Ever sense his first release. Like I'm infactuated by him. I relate to his music on a spiritually view as in recantations. Like I love this guy!
Such a pure voice, no autotune like apparently 99% of singers today . Imagine Dragons actually gave him a song, but he writes all of his own songs. Such an amazing talented young man ❤
You need to watch all of his song videos if you can. He's exploding right now and the entire album is a masterpiece. Shadow, Architect, Neon, his latest Gravedigger...everything he touches is turning to GOLD. He resonates hard.
I also only heard him for the first time recently. It feels like his songs are something I've heard in a dream. Literally can't get enough. I only pray he stays independent and carries on with his own creative freedoms. He's a diamond in the rough and I'm positive the entire world will know his name soon.
LOVE this guy!! Like many, discovered him by accident and he has completely touched my soul! He sings about anxiety & overcoming it and anyone who has had to deal with it feels in his words, that he knows exactly what true anxiety is. So grateful to him for not just singing about it, but singing about overcoming it! Kudos to this guy… he’s helping so many more people than he probably realizes. ❤️🥰
The epitome of what can be achieved with support for potential. He has more than other singers, it's his connectedness with the himself and the universe. His vibration is magical, out of this world and what he delivers is pure authenticity. Not every singer has this quality but he has it in bucket loads.
This guy is everything. All of it. He is just oozing unparalleled creativity and talent. He is an unforgettable artist. I knew the first time I heard this song. I immediately went to RU-vid. Theres more thats as good as this song. So exciting.
He said play this for the one you want to marry....married 38yrs going on 40!!! Sent this to my hubby to listen to the lyrics! Can't get it out of my head! ❤❤❤
I love him!!! I found him here on RU-vid with his song “Shadow” which is so powerful! I download his album as soon as I could! Play more of him PLEASE!!!!!
I've been listening to Livingston on RU-vid. His voice is very pure and controlled. Watch his hands. He looks like he's not only keeping time, he's directing his voice low to high and back. 😊😊👋👋❤❤
May he stay independent and free to give the world a truly authentic expression of what it is to be human. The music industry will try to own him, let them try this guy has inner strength. Glad he has his loving parents to assist him on his journey.
Of course I would like to keep listening to his songs. He is amazing! I am 55 years old and his music gets me. If you just starting listening his music your have missed the most amazing voice!
That how a parent should be with your kids of support and love...I listen to him 3 to 4 day ( mainly when I working ❤ he voice is amazing) would love to see him in person
4:17 found Livingston on TikTok and was flawed by his voice. His tones give me chills. Can’t get enough. Please support him, as he needs to be better known. He has such a beautiful soul. More, more, more please!
Livingston is definitely gifted, there is no doubt about it. Jason, have you heard Shadow? If you are getting chills by listening to Last Man Standing, listen to shadow. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us.😊
Ohhhh I agree. Just think the day we can hear him singing in heaven with the Angels. Thank you, Jesus, for this beautiful boy and great talent you have created. Also LOVE the song Shadow.
Love how he sings many levels ranges. Very clear . I'm 61 and I really enjoy he's sound. Range. Powerful... Look forward to seeing him go far. I would love to see him join with Ed S. Powerful.. A mix of both talents.. sound.. Wow.. We need more music . All types. Either it be church mix. Love story. Music....
I love how you put all of yourself into your music. It is so beautiful how your voice goes from soft and calm to an extreme high , the words you sing have so much love yet a little bit of darkness.. I just love listening to your music. You can SING young man.. go far with that voice !!!!!!!
I love Livingston!!! I’m a 55 year old mom of three boys and have been listening to his music on Spotify nonstop for a couple of weeks now. He is amazing and I want to seem him tour! I love that he was made for greatness!!! God surely lives you Livingston for blessing you with one unbelievable talent!!! Ps your mom is awesome and you can see loves you very much
Don't compare him to Imagine Dragons... This is Livingston. Period. He is absolutely unique, as you said, and yet you still compared him to Dan Reynolds. When a new singer comes around we don't need to compare them to singers of the past... It makes the singer feel bad for sounding like someone else, and it makes you look bad for comparing the two. He sounds like Livingston and he is Livingston.
I love that you said this. Livingston stands out on his own. And he is freakinfreakin’ awesome. I bought the album and love it all. Long live Livingston!
True. He is fantastic in his own right. But maybe it helps in the sense that if you like I.D. you may also like him. Maybe that's good for the algorithm for a new unknown artist.
I discovered Livingston on TikTok a couple of months ago,it was his post of Shadow with his Mom playing was Phenomenal and I’ve been hooked and listening to his music since. I bought his album that same week. I completely agree with you, very talented!!
