At just 22, London-based artist Luvrite has already lived through the kind of setbacks and resilience arcs that most musicians don’t encounter until much later in their careers. Born in Rotterdam and moving to London at 18 to chase his artistic ambitions, he dropped out of BIMM in 2021 only to face an even harsher blow: losing his voice due to medical complications. But instead of disappearing, Luvrite returned stronger—channeling those fractures into something richer, darker, and infinitely more human.
His new single “Where To Find Me” is a striking continuation of that journey. Pulled from his forthcoming six-track EP Slowly Rushing, the song floats in a space between R&B soul and dark pop, weaving moody atmospheres with raw vulnerability. It’s a soundscape of immersive harmonies, glossy yet bruised, where emotional fatigue bleeds into quiet strength.
“I don’t wanna know, it makes me vulnerable,” he confesses in the pre-chorus, before the refrain folds in on itself like a whispered admission: “Cause you know where to find me, love.” It’s not just a lyric—it’s an echo of the restless disconnection that shadows young creatives navigating identity, industry, and intimacy in a world that rarely slows down.
With production and songwriting as his foundation, Luvrite has always favored the in-between spaces, pulling neo-soul textures into dialogue with pop’s brooding edges. If his debut single “Naked Minds” was an introduction—earning early praise from Wonderland and Ones to Watch—then Where To Find Me is the turning point: a song that crystallizes his voice (literally and metaphorically) after nearly losing it.
The upcoming EP Slowly Rushing promises to be a deeply intimate project, balancing moody synths with soul-bred warmth, a meditation on both the exhaustion and beauty of growing up as a young artist in the modern age. Each track is a vignette of connection and loss, but threaded together, they form a portrait of resilience—a reminder that vulnerability can be its own form of power.
With Where To Find Me, Luvrite doesn’t just deliver another single. He opens a door into his inner universe, where fragility and strength coexist, and where music is less about chasing trends than about surviving—and thriving—through them.
2025 may just be the year Luvrite stops asking where to be found, and simply claims his place.
“Where To Find Me” feels like a 2AM confession—raw, lonely, and intimate. When you were writing it, were you speaking to someone specific, or was it more like speaking to yourself?
It was definitely reflecting back to previous moments in relationships, letting someone close to you can be surprisingly hard when you haven’t been taught how to. But it all starts with awareness, so this song was just another step in the right direction.
You’ve described the track as made for “late-night walks” and “drives with no destination.” Do you find those solitary moments are where most of your songs are born?
Yes, not exclusively but frequently. I love free styling with friends however my music is made for commuting. I’m Dutch so stereotypically I have a bike (shout out to Vanmoof) on which I travel everywhere. During those rides and my daily runs the best ideas come to me. Something about movement creates inner conscientiousness and this motivational drive. It also makes conversations flow, museum dates are absolutely better than drinks!
Your upcoming EP, is called Slowly Rushing, can you tell us about the title? How does that tension—moving fast while feeling stuck—play out in your life and in your music?
When you’re ambitious but have to be self-reliant from a young age you become a master in planning. Since 14 I’ve had no less than 3 jobs simultaneously while attending grammar school, a course in music production and competitive judo. I’ve now scaled my focus down to music but pressure remains; I can’t afford to take my foot off the gas. A lot of youth experience this, not just creatives, think of how our parents had an entry level job and buy houses at 25. We can get there too but it’s going to take dedication. Juggling it all at once can feel like you’re “Slowly Rushing”
You moved from Rotterdam to London at 18, what was the most surprising thing about that change—musically or personally.
I gained so much experience, I really didn’t know what to expect. Again music for me is the result of dedication, not talent. I made some fantastic friends via BIMM in the second week of getting here and have made music with them ever since. Luke and Damon did production on both Naked Minds and Where To Find Me.
Personally I miss the countryside frequently, nothing beats waking up between green pastures and the sound of birds. The past 2 years I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to escape England for a bit nearly every month.
You lost your voice for a period due to medical issues, which is a nightmare for any singer. How did that silence change the way you write, listen, or even see yourself as an artist?
It reaffirmed that everything is temporary, and my level of appreciation for music shot through the roof. Whenever I get to make music now I simply radiate good energy, it’s this magical thing of which I like every aspect; from the production to the recording and from the mixing to the music videos and things like this! Don’t they say: “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone”?
Your music blends the velvet of neo-soul with the shadows of dark pop, what are your biggest inspirations?
So difficult because I say different people every time someone asks hahaha. Frank Ocean, Ye, MJ, Jimi Hendrix, Kid Cudi, Tyler the Creator, Bon Iver, Jpeg, Stevie Wonder, Brockhampton, Odeal, Mk. Gee or Future. I’ve only got 2 songs out so far but some names will become more apparent in future releases. Everyone always tells me I sound like The Weeknd, but that’s just my voice. I did a cover of Justin Bieber’s SWAG album the other day and my housemate who hadn’t heard it said “this whole thing sounds so The Weeknd”. Hahaha, I can’t help it guys!!
The lyric “I don’t wanna know, it makes me vulnerable” cuts deep. Do you think vulnerability in music is a choice, or is it something you can’t really control once you start writing honestly?
Excellent question; I believe once it happens, it happens. However you can do many things to cultivate it. I love everything Rick Rubin does, his book “The Creative Act” is a must read and communication expert Vinh Giang has quite an insightful podcast about it. So in the moment: no, let your feelings speak however they are. But in preparation to the session: sure go for that meditation or shadow box or something, whatever gets you in the right mood for your music. *I do both admittedly
The music industry can feel like a constant rush but also a deeply lonely space. How do you keep yourself grounded without losing the intensity that fuels your songwriting?
Music to me is so personal I couldn’t really care about the industry around it, when I first came to London I was, like everyone else, very enticed by all the interesting events and eccentric, colorful people. Now I respect my time and relationships and have found so much more joy in the pure creativity without fluff around it. I think perhaps this has hurt the marketing, but I can sense the snowball rolling and becoming larger every time.
We love “Where To Find Me” If you could score one movie with this song, what kind of scene would it soundtrack?
I could name a few! Any Robert de Niro Taxi Driver scene, the opening scene of Drive with Ryan Gosling, Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal, Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai
At just 22, you’re crafting a sound that feels seasoned, patient, and lived-in. What do you hope listeners take away from Slowly Rushing—and from finding you at this point in your journey
I just turned 23 in June actually 😉 Thank you, it’s been years in the making. I hope that it helps them navigate through their own busy lives. I hope that while they’re commuting to their side job, in doubt of their creative career or future altogether, they know that they’re not alone. My sound will keep evolving and I really hope that my music will get to create the community it so dearly embraces.
