Luminary Sounds

Luminary Sounds was created by musical artist “Junior LLedo” and accompanied by music enthusiasts, “Francois The Great”. Luminary Sounds a music media platform dedicated to highlighting and discovering the undiscovered. Our mission is to help break independent artists into mainstream by introducing fans to their music through interviews, music reviews, live shows, and our new Radio Show. We Sip Tea or Light It Up. What we’re most proud about is the adoration we receive from so many wonderful artists. We’ve received submission requests for artists all over the globe. We support them and ask for nothing in return. We also don’t charge artists to be featured. It’s tough enough being an independent artist as is. We just want to share their musical gifts that God gave them. What sets us apart from the other media platforms is our consistency and creating new ways to highlight Independent Artists. 

An independent music podcast based in Ventura County is helping undiscovered musical artists across all genres break into the mainstream music scene through reviews, interviews and recorded live performances.

Luminary Sounds was created by musical artist Odell “Junior LLedo” Davis of Oxnard and musical enthusiast Francis “Francois the Great” Ampiaw of Sherman Oaks last year. The two met 12 years ago working at a bank in Simi Valley and learned they both had a passion for music.

“Junior asked that if he started a podcast would I do it with him,” Ampiaw, 40, said. “I was already doing album reviews for mainstream and independent artists. Before [R&B artist] Ella Mai made it big, everyone would always ask me, ‘how did you know she was going to be so big? You need to take this seriously.’ ”

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. 

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. 

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"
