Dynamic from birth and destined to make music - Lu City artists Jean Atem & Ryie boast a unique Dancehall/Afrobeat blend with a strong Pop appeal and a proper sexy Caribbean feel. Although they are inspired by international pop, rap, dancehall and R&B artists, Lu City’s Caribbean upbringing also has a major influence on their beats and lyrics. The result is an unexpected and upscale sound to come out of the tiny Caribbean island of St. Lucia; with catchy beats, relatable lyrics and smooth melodies they possess an obvious potential for international listenership.
Born and bred on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia, the 'Cari-Pop' duo grew up very differently, from opposite walks of life, each with their own extremely diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Given their first chance by Lu City co-founder and manager Eliot Bailey, music brought them together and they began their process of creation as an inseparable duo in 2012 – at which point they were but a mere 15/16 years old.
