LTtheMonk fell in love with hip-hop when he was 8 years old. His love for the culture and genre grew and at age 16, he began to take the verses he had spent years finessing, turning them into songs. He released his first EP at age 17, ‘The Crescendo’, followed by the mixtapes ‘The Whole Nine’ and ‘Jungle Fever’, and at age 20, he released his 1st commercial album ‘Monk in London’, an ode to his home city and now his latest album ‘The Dark Side Of The Monk’. https://ltthemonk.com

As an artist LT is always looking to push hip-hop forward, and make soundtracks to creativity, representing London, and taking influences from artists ranging from Michael Jackson, Prince and The Beatles, to Jay-Z, Eminem and A Tribe Called Quest. This eclectic love of music is shown best in the titling and inspiration behind his latest album ‘The Dark Side Of The Monk’, inspired by Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, as well as his travels to California in early 2016.
