LTtheMonk grew up in Beckenham, a small town in Bromley – one of the Boroughs of London in the UK. Music was always a big part of his life, but he fell in love with Hip Hop when we stumbled upon Twista’s “Sunshine” music video while channel surfing at the tender age of 7 – something just clicked and he knew right then that he needed to become a rapper.
When it came time to apply for colleges, LT knew North America would give him the best chance of making a career in Hip Hop, AND because of Canada’s more lenient immigration policies, picked us and bought his plane ticket. He studied music in Hamilton, where he would meet the members of the band that he performs with at his live shows.
In the last year, LT landed a record deal with Hamilton-based label and management company Sonic Unyon, becoming their first hip hop artist. He’s been working hard on the final touches on his upcoming album “On The Wall” (which is a nod to his inspiration: Michael Jackson’s infamous album from the 90’s “Off The Wall”).
Join me as we learn a little more about LT and his journey in life and hip hop.
