Livingston is certainly one of the most articulate artists we’ve ever had on the couch, and in conversation and in song, the Denton, Texas-born songwriter and producer, is an open book. Born Drake Livingston, the 22-year-old first started making waves in early 2020 with the raw, propulsive pop of his ‘Fairytale,’ off what would become his Lighthouse EP. During the pandemic his music popped off even more thanks to his compelling covers of everyone from Rihanna to Lewis Capaldi to Tate McCrae.

During this time he also began on a remarkable journey of transformation, getting fit, shedding over 100lbs and writing, writing, writing. Eventually 250 songs were whittled down to his Republic Records debut full-length, ‘A Hometown Odyssey’ (2024), and the now the newly released deluxe version ‘A Hometown Odyssey: The Story Continues.’

The singer opens up about his childhood in Denton, starting a one-man videography company before he’d even hit his teens, and how his love of and skills in film and editing have helped him in music. Livingston openly discusses bullying, being diagnosed as neurodivergent, and how doggedly following his dreams and telling his story from his perspective is connecting with fans all over the world. He also shares how his girlfriend of eight years has been instrumental in his success, working with his hero Macklemore, and so much more.
