A young musician could hardly find better training. But musically, St Lucia's heart lay elsewhere, and South Africa was full of other rhythms. "My mom says I used to sing along to Michael Jackson," he says - an ordinary anecdote, until he adds, "when I was an infant." As a young teenager, he started to feel that he'd had his fill of classical, and it felt like an epiphany when he discovered the direct emotionality of pop. Eventually, he left the creative "small pond" of South Africa for England, where he spent three years studying music in Liverpool.
St. Lucia's journey ended - as so many journeys do - in New York City, where he started working on the tracks that would ultimately turn into his self titled debut release on Neon Gold. The atmospheric quality of St. Lucia's electronic pop is powerful, with the musician's global travels and history of secret hideaways effortlessly passed onto the audience through his dreamy, shimmering synths.
Neon Gold will release St Lucia's debut album later this year. Formerly a singles-only label that launched releases Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding, The Naked & Famous and helped launch the careers of countless others.

All Eyes on You
St. Lucia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words that I said then
I will always come back to you
Even in the meantime
I will always stand by
A mirror on the shelf
Call you in the night time
Can't fess up to you
'Cause I hope
We will never have to take back
What we said in the night I
Hope that I'll always have all eyes on you
You know that
I will take what I can when
You are there standing by, soft
Spoken in the dead of night, all eyes on you
I will never take back
Words that I said then
I always knew I'd come back to you
Even in the meantime
I will always stand by
A mirror on the shelf
'Cause I hope
We will never have to take back
What we said in the night I
Hope that I'll always have all eyes on you
And you know that
I'll take what I can when
You are there standing by, soft
Spoken in the dead of night, all eyes on you
And I hope
We will never have to take back
What we said in the night I
Hope that I'll always have all eyes on you
You know that
I will take what I can when
You are there standing by, soft
Spoken in the dead of night, all eyes on you
I hope
We will never have to take back
What we said in the night I
Hope that I'll always have all eyes on you
You know that
I will take what I can when
You are there standing by, soft
Spoken in the dead of night, all eyes on you
I hope
We will never have to take back
What we said in the night I
Hope that I'll always have all eyes on you
You know that
I will take what I can when
You are there standing by, soft
Spoken in the dead of night, all eyes on you
All eyes on you
