lucitt

For Edmond James Lucitt, the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind the project lucitt, music is not about chasing trends; it's about crafting something timeless. Based in Camarillo, California, lucitt creates songs that could have been written 20 years ago or 20 years from now, existing outside the fleeting whims of pop culture. This pursuit of the genuine is a direct reflection of a life defined by profound loss and a stark rejection of superficiality.

Lucitt’s story began in the San Fernando Valley, raised by a single mother whose death when he was ten thrust him into the manicured, wealthy world of Calabasas. This jarring transition bred a deep-seated resentment for the inauthentic, shaping his worldview and, eventually, his art. It was during this time that Green Day's American Idiot revealed a path forward, demonstrating that music could be both viscerally catchy and rich with narrative depth. He realized his own story of hardship deserved to be told, and music was the most potent form of emotional release.

This belief is the bedrock of his creative process, guided by a simple but powerful philosophy: a song only holds value if it costs the writer something. This emotional honesty is woven into a rich and eclectic tapestry of sound. In lucitt’s music, you can hear the raw, minimalist vulnerability of Nirvana, the anthemic energy of punk bands like Blink-182, the melodic dreaminess of Owl City, and the classic, story-driven songcraft of Fleetwood Mac.

His upcoming debut single, "Yellow Snow," is a potent introduction to this ethos; a track that forgoes fiction to share a real piece of his own history. For lucitt, the goal isn't just self-expression; it's connection. He hopes his music can find the people who need it most, just as he once did. More than anything, he hopes that some 10-year-old out there, navigating their own struggles, can hear a lucitt song and feel, for a moment, perfectly understood.
