How did the artist name come to be? Louie was always my nickname growing up, but styles was added because of the many styles of music I was able to mix together.
Where does the inspiration come from for creating music? My inspiration comes from being around music my whole childhood. My grandfather owned a record label called “Encanto”. He signed one of the most legendary latin figures named “Daniel Santos”. My sister was always singing and playing music around me as well.

If you wasn’t making music, what would you be doing right now? I’d most likely be involved in the computer science field.
What really makes you stand out and different from other artists? I like to infuse and mix different genres of music.
Tell us your craziest life story: My craziest story would be accidentally going on to the wrong cruise ship. It caused a whole lot of ruckus but it somehow got resolved without me leaving on the wrong boat.
What’s your biggest goal in the music industry? I want to make an impact for future music executives and artists by creating great music and connecting great musicians together.
If you could collaborate with one single artist who would it be and why? I would say Sean Paul. I feel like I could make a island good record with him.
Favorite Artists of all time and why? Favorite artist of all time has to be Kid Cudi. His music not only provided a sound for my turn up times during my youth but it also provided therapy to listen to in whatever mood I was in.
What advice would you give to inspiring music artists? Be yourself, invest in yourself and create a solid circle/team to support your goals.
