Why Humans Need Nature Sounds | Louis VI


Listen Later

In this episode of Toasts & Jams, we welcome Louis VI, musician, producer and artist whose work moves through hip hop, jazz, soul and a deep connection to the natural world.


We talk about Louis’ journey through music, from growing up in London listening to Dizzee Rascal, Nas and Kanye West, to discovering writing through the Roundhouse and finding his own voice as both a rapper and producer.


The conversation moves through identity, diaspora, creativity and the role nature now plays in his work. Louis reflects on Dominica, field recordings, indigenous knowledge and why reconnecting with the sounds of the natural world can be so powerful for our minds, bodies and communities.


It’s a thoughtful and wide ranging chat about music, memory, family, nature and the importance of listening more closely to the world around us.
