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.
Wedding Dress
Levi Hummon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took my arm and said come dance with me
I tuck my shirt and put down my drink
That wedding bands playing a 68 beat
I know I'm not some perfect man
Got too many flaws to count on both of my hands
You rest your head down on my hammy-down suit
Might be the champagne going to my head
Or something that that preacher said
If I got down on one knee would you say yes ?
I wanna see you in a wedding dress
I know we said we were gonna wait
But when those happy tears were rolling down your face
I couldn't help it girl my mind just changed
Now I kinda hope you catch that white bouquet
I know I'm not some perfect man
Got too many flaws to count on both of my hands
You rest your head down on my hammy-down suit
I see that bride and then I look at you
Might be the champagne going to my head
Or something that that preacher said
If I got down on one knee would you say yes ?
I wanna see you in a wedding dress
I wanna kiss you
I wanna spin you around
I wanna see you in a wedding dress
I wanna hold you
Yeah baby I do
I wanna see you in a wedding dress
Might be the champagne going to my head
Or something that that preacher said
If I got down on one knee would you say yes ?
I wanna see you in a wedding dress
I wanna see you in a Wedding Dress
