Over the course of their illustrious career, the multiple GRAMMY-nominated and RIAA Diamond-certified superstar has amassed over 31 billion career streams, cementing their status as a global icon.

UZI has released an array of critically acclaimed albums, three of which have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. The superstar has earned over 100 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, including signature hits such as the Diamond-certified single "XO TOUR Llif3," “Just Wanna Rock,” “Futsal Shuffle 2020” and “That Way,” among many others.

UZI’s unparalleled ability to blend genres has earned them a loyal fan base and a spot among the most innovative artists of this generation. Their catalog includes multiple platinum and gold-certified tracks, including The Way Life Goes and Neon Guts (feat. Pharrell Williams), along with the highly successful collaborative project PLUTO X BABY PLUTO with Future. Additionally, UZI’s involvement in Migos' hit single “Bad and Boujee” further solidified their reputation for shaping chart-topping collaborations.

Growing up in Darlington Pennsylvania, David Louthan started out developing his music skills by picking up a guitar at age 13, and this self produced singer songwriter has never looked back.

It seems it took a while for the music production bug to bite fully, but in 2006 David set about stepping up his musical goals, and focused himself on seriously producing and recording the catalogue of songs he had started building up through his formative years.

David cites a diverse range of influences on his life, from the retro sounds of Tom petty, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors, to the slightly later sound of bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers. When you listen to David's music the influences are evident, and he handles straight ahead acoustic guitar based tracks such as the Bob Dylanesque 'Just a Kid’ as skillfully as more psychedelic influenced tracks such as 'Misguided Fear'

The term singer songwriter is often used to define a genre of its own, but most artists who classify themselves as such generally want to impart the fact that the songs are telling the story.

Running through David's playlist of songs on his SoundCloud page, he tells a story of humble determination in pursuit of your dreams, with tracks such as 'Family' reminding the listener of the age old adage that if they follow their heart, they wont go far wrong in life.

Something I'm sure we can all relate to is the tale of growing up too quickly and succumbing to the pressures of adult life. Sometimes we'd all like a day off and spend the day in the proverbial candy shop, reliving those carefree days of our childhood. David's message in the song 'Just A Kid' reminds us that there's a higher power helping us out in life, which should give us permission that quitting our worries, and taking time out to get in touch with our childlike side wouldn't do us any harm now and again.

A similar theme runs through the laid back piano and acoustic guitar melodies of ‘There’s A Place’ which arouses a very 60’s influenced feeling, encouraging us to find that part of our psyche that gives us the freedom and serenity to create and visualize our dreams. Going by the creativity contained in his catalogue of sad songs, I’d say that in his music David Lee Louthan has definitely found ‘his place’.
