Levi began to make his imprint on the Nashville community through regular co-writes with his father, Marcus Hummon (Grammy Award winning songwriter), and a regular rotation of writers who would join them. Levi loved relating to a listener through the stories he could craft. It wasn’t long before word spread of Levi’s talents, and he found himself writing with the greats such as 2014 ACM Songwriter of the Year Shane MacAnally, Andrew Dorff, Josh Osborne, Jonathan Singleton, Nathan Barlowe Brandy Clark, Trevor Rosen among others, and of course, Marcus Hummon. Learning to always bring in his own ideas and point of view to a writing session, Levi quickly streamlined his unique style. “You’re letting someone into your world which is really vulnerable,” says Levi. “I write from a reflective & personal place and ultimately I couldn’t see anyone else singing these songs.”
As a member of a multi-generational music family, Levi Hummon certainly appreciates his roots. While Levi is very much his own person & artist, he strongly values giving credit where it is due – and he finds himself fortunate to have his family be part of his journey. In addition to his father’s musical foundation, Levi draws inspiration from his mother, Becca Stevens, who founded the socially conscious & philanthropic organization, Thistle Farms (a residential program and social enterprise made up of women who have survived prostitution, trafficking, and addiction). This became a natural place for Levi to become involved where he further witnessed how music can provide a healing effect to those whom have suffered tremendously. “Thistle farms has always been a family to me,” says Levi. “There is so much knowledge to gain from spending time with the women. It makes me want to always forgive, never take anything for granted, and love everyone.”
Continuing to develop his personal sound, Levi found himself in great company while in Nashville. Marcus and Becca casually had their friend and Hall of Fame Songwriter, Desmond Child over for dinner, where Levi played a few songs. Desmond’s reaction was profound and immediate – he insisted on working with Levi. Soon after, Levi’s tune “Make it Love,” was featured in Child’s film, Two: The Story of Roman & Nero, which appeared on the short list of nominations for the Oscar’s “Best Original Song”. That was just the beginning for Levi. With overwhelming support from Nashville’s music community, Levi signed with Fletcher Foster’s new management and entertainment company, Iconic Entertainment Group.
Levi has recently signed with The Valory Music Co (Big Machine Record Label) artist roster, which includes Reba, Justin Moore, Brantley Gilbert, Thomas Rhett, The Mavericks & RaeLynn. “As our Country format ebbs and flows, it’s always so important from an A&R perspective to look past what’s happening now and make some moves on the future direction,” said BMLG President & CEO Scott Borchetta. “Levi’s unique vision and incredible artistry is exactly the kind of musical move we want to make now. This is a very significant artist signing.” Levi Hummon is currently writing and recording for his first full-length album.

Reasons to call you reasons to drive
By your house sometimes
And I wouldn't ask all of your friends
If anyone's seen you knows how you've been
Or if you're coming out tonight, tonight
Stead of running home and moving on
Yeah I thought it'd be okay but it isn't
Thought a little space from a distance
Would make you go away but it didn't
Wish I could say I don't love you
But I still do
But I still do
Thought I wouldn't feel so all alone
Is this for real yeah I shoulda known
But I don't somehow
The taste of your kiss the touch of skin
I shouldn't replay itagain and again
Thought I would quit by now by now
But I still do crawl back to you
Stead of running home and moving on
Yeah I thought it'd be okay but it isn't
Thought a little space from a distance
Would make you go away but it didn't
Wish I could say I don't love you
But I still do do do do do
I still do do do do do
Yeah it feels like a waste of time convincing myself
I still do
That I don't want you all that much when I know all too well
I still do
Yeahit feels like a waste of time convincing myself
I still do
That I don't want you all that much when I know all too well
I still do crawl back to you
Stead of running home and moving on, moving on
Thought it'd be okay but it isn't
Yeah I thought a little space from a distance
Would make you go away but it didn't
Wish I could say I don't love you
But I still do yeah
Oh I still do do do do do
Oh I still do
Yeah I still do
The lyrics of Levi Hummon's "I Still Do" tackle the difficult emotions of someone trying to move on from a past relationship, but unable to cut ties with their ex. The singer expresses the desire to move on and let go, yet constantly finds themselves reaching out and checking up on their ex. The conflict between longing to move on and the inability to do so is highlighted through the repetition of the phrase "I still do" throughout the song.
The feelings of confusion and loneliness are also present. The singer questions why they can't let go and why they still feel alone even though they know the relationship isn't healthy. The intimacy shared between the two is highlighted through sensory imagery, such as the taste of a kiss and the touch of skin, which further adds to the singer's struggle in moving on.
Overall, "I Still Do" is a poignant and relatable portrayal of the conflicting emotions that arise during a breakup. It captures the frustrating journey of attempting to move on yet constantly being pulled back by lingering emotions and memories.
