Newcomer Louie The Singer has released his first song, “Brothers,” through Universal Nashville. The Fort Worth, Texas native said it was difficult for him to be vulnerable when he first started writing the song. “When I initially started writing ‘Brothers,’ it was hard for me to open up,” he says. “I had a good conversation with a friend of mine from California, and he was like, ‘You need to start making those stories and stuff like that that you went through, songs.’ It wasn’t necessarily me in the song, but it was definitely something that happened in my life about 10 years ago.”

He went into the recording studio with Tejano guitarist-producer Chris Perez and his band to create his new music. “You know, I feel like we got a solid record and for it to be my first single released under a major label,” says Louie. “Like, you know, every artist’s goal is to to be signed to a major label is to be doing this professionally and feeding their family and for my first single to be released with Chris Perez and the Chris Perez band is like, man, it’s a little surreal you know? So, it’s like you kind of almost want to ask yourself is this really happening?”

My new single is officially out guys thank you to those who have already streamed it. This is the first release of many with Universal Nashville and I can’t even express how big this makes me feel. pic.twitter.com/P4vyqbIReU
