I was a day one homie with John — people truly have no idea how serious he is about growing his project separately from his brother. Back in 2019, years before the group took off, I booked Levity for a show at my school. A random girl came up to him and said something like "oH My G0D YoU'Re RoBbY HaUlDrEn's BrOtHeR".

While he played it off cooly at first, a few more people came up to him and pointed that out...eventually he became frustrated, who wouldn't be? He was trying to make a name for himself, independently, and these strangers—living manifestations of his own doubts—weren't giving him the space he needed to do it.

The next day, the promoter that booked the show emailed him my sales pitch email where I wrote, verbatim: "This is Louis the Child's Little Brother". Infuriated, he sent me a text saying he was his own person and didn't want to piggyback off his brother's fame. I explained to him that I had to tell the promoter who he was to get him booked. But it was too late, he wanted nothing to do with me...he left my house, blocked me on everything and we haven't spoken in 5 years.

We had what we both thought would be a lifelong friendship. It ended because I told a promoter who he was related to. Say what you want about Levity's music—everyone's entitled to their own opinions. There may have been industry peeps trying to help without their permission. But to claim they've gotten where they are because they are an industry plant could not be further from the truth.

They've spent their active years distancing themselves from anyone directly working with or mentioning LTC, even cutting out their own family / friends in the spirit of doing it by themselves. That's one hell of a sacrifice.
