Steady in his efforts and quiet in his approach, Tampa, Fla.-based producer Lorvins Lormeus was one of yesterday’s most quiet talents in urban music. The tide has now turned as Lorvins has embarked on a new phenomenon called “Truth Music,” a style of music that reveals the Hidden World by lifting a Spiritual Veil. You can call it a spiritual awakening. “I really don’t have a genre that I fall into,” Lorvins explains. “Music is an extension of my senses.”
Born in Freeport, Bahamas, those senses were instilled in the producer/singer/songwriter for as long as he’s been alive. He started singing in church at an early age. Lorvins started to formally groom his singing abilities at Dillard High School. Lorvins participated in a special program with the Ashanti Cultural Arts program and he was awarded the opportunity to perform for the Lexus Corporation on the televised ABC Network.
After high school, he landed a full music scholarship to Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona. There, he became a member of the internationnly acclaimed Concert Chorale, directed by the legendary Dr. Rebecca Steele. Additionally, he was coached under the tutelage of world-renowned opera singer Curtis Rayam.
Because of his formal training, he has been well-received for performing various genres: jazz, opera, classical, Negro spirituals, gospel and mainstream music. Over time, versatility would become the niche to define the style that Lorvins would now be known for.
“Having a formal, musically trained background makes me appreciate and respect all styles of music from classical to HipHop,” says Lorvins.
During his educational journey through college, he started to gain an appreciation for rap and R&B. He quickly fell in love with the different sounds within the two genres, and would spend late nights at rehearsal halls improvising popular songs on the piano and with his vocals.
Lorvins is unique despite his creative abilities. Most importantly, he has a heart of pure gold, which he has demonstrated through various humanitarian causes. He is truly a gift to the world at large.
