Lou Black

“Roy Orbison meets the Velvet Underground” Lou Black’s music is for

people who appreciate that great songs connect your heart and mind.



Lou Black’s background is unusual to say the least. He is a Peruvian born singer/songwriter, UK

educated statistician/researcher, a published author in several fields, and

former soothsayer to Fortune 500 companies.

His debut album has been described by the press as “sophisticated global

pop” and “one of the best in the singer songwriter genre,” but Lou Black

describes his music as “subversive songs of social commentary and personal

struggle.”



His self-produced album, “City of No

Winters,” garnered positive praise from music critics and airplay on

university & public AAA radio stations (over 250 broadcast stations and

21 countries), along with numerous internet radio stations. His music combines Western pop music with

African and South American rhythms while his lyrics communicate social &

political issues, and tales of alienation, interpersonal conflict and

despair. From an upbeat dance song

about war torn Yugoslavia to a story of South African apartheid era poverty

disguised as a love ballad to song about a man so losing his faith in god and

men. "I strive to distinguish

myself from mass produced commercial radio music," says Lou, "so I

design my music to be subversive with memorable melodies on the surface and

thoughtful messages behind the scenes." The press has referred to his

album as "sophisticated global pop" and has called his work "the

best in the singer/songwriter genre."
