ST. LUNDI We’re often told in life to go with our guts, and rising star St. Lundi took this advice to something of an extreme when he one day left his remote island life off the South Coast of the UK, buying a one-way ticket to London with little money or plan. Some might interpret that as madness, but for this young man it has already led to collaborations with the likes of Kygo and Seeb. He released his first single in March 2020, yet his streams are already in HEADLINER MAGAZINE
the millions. Headliner chats with St. Lundi to get to the bottom of how a very spontaneous decision led to a burgeoning career in pop music. “I’d always lived on Hayling Island, which is a small island of about 15,000 people,” St. Lundi says (or Archie Langley in real life). “It’s connected to the mainland but you can see the Isle of Wight from there. Imagine if you were walking to France, you’d go through there. I lived
there my whole life until I was 21. And then I made a dash to London to do music, and I’ve been here ever since.” You often hear the argument these days that, thanks to the ubiquitous nature of the internet, you can have a music career anywhere as long as you have a broadband connection. But you’d perhaps be stretching that argument quite a bit with someone living on a tiny island at the literal bottom of the United Kingdom
