Junior LLedo and Francois The Great giving a music review on Danileigh with Luminary Sounds.

DANILEIGH 2018

BLUE CHIPS

Luminary Sounds 2018 Music Review of Danileigh wasn't by accident. Although there are a countless of new artist emerging every day the "Lil Bebe" singer stood out. As we fast forward to the end of 2019, Danileigh has been featured on The Breakfast Club, No Jumper, Hot 97, and has worked with YG, Lil Baby, YBN and Chris Brown. 

Junior LLedo and Francois The Great give Pink Sweat$ a music interview for Honesty song.

PINK SWEAT$ 2018

HONESTY

In 2018 an artist with a unique name and sound came across our radar. He went by the name of Pink Sweat$. After listening to "Honesty" it was time to do a review and tell the world why Pink Sweat$ was the next artist for fans to notice. Since 2018 the "Coke and Henney" singer has been featured on Jimmy Kimmel, The Breakfast Club, and featured on Wale's newest album. 

Junior LLedo and Francois The Great at Salzers Records, conducting a music review with Summer Walker for Luminary Sounds.

SUMMER WALKER 2019

LAST DAY OF SUMMER

We first came across Summer Walker with "CPR" a song that embodied presence and confidence. It was an easy decision to feature Summer Walkers previous album "Last Day of Summer" because she's simply a star. She's the female artist that has her cake and eats it too. An artist that expresses her feelings with no hesitation. Since our feature on Summer Walker she's worked alongside Drake, 6lack, Bryson Tiller, London on da Track, Rick Ross, Usher, Raury, and dropped the #1 R&B Album of 2019, "Over It"

LUMINARY TIMES

AFTER WORK WE PLAY

We know the consistent grind and drive an independent artist must face because Luminary Sounds was created by a musical artist. The moment we share an artist music they gain a boost of confidence to keep going and not give up. We are selective but we have to be. We love highlighting artist they many would never get the chance of hearing and we take pride in showing off new Indie Artist.

Luminary Sounds | From Podcast To Radio

Working with the right people has been the biggest contributing factor to our success. Luminary Sounds Creator, Junior LLedo, and Co-Creator, Francois The Great, found themselves at a crossroad within the chemistry of the team. It wasn’t until Marissa, “Missy Talks”, fell into our laps and ever since the “Sip Tea or Light It Up” tandem has complimented each other. We recognize the platform we have with KJBU 99Three FM Radio, and we want to support as many Independent Musical Artists and local businesses as possible. In this media business you have to learn quickly how to ignore opinions that discredit your capabilities.
