RG Lowe is a talented musician hailing from Austin, Texas. With his unique blend of soulful vocals and intricate melodies, he has captivated audiences worldwide. His music transcends genres, seamlessly fusing elements of R&B, pop, and electronic music. Lowe's powerful lyrics and heartfelt performances have earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Whether performing on stage or in the studio, RG Lowe continues to push boundaries and create music that resonates with listeners.
As an artist, RG Lowe draws inspiration from a wide range of musical influences including Prince, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder. This eclectic mix of inspirations is evident in his dynamic soundscapes and infectious hooks. His ability to effortlessly switch between genres sets him apart from other musicians in the industry.
In addition to his solo work, RG Lowe has collaborated with various artists throughout his career. He has worked with renowned producers and songwriters to create chart-topping hits for both himself and other artists. His passion for music shines through in every project he takes on.

After years of success in the world of neo-classical music with his band Balmorhea, RG Lowe took an artistic sharp turn leading to his soulful 2017 debut, Slow Time, which Stereogum called "impossibly smooth." Three years later, Lowe returns with Life of the Body, produced by David Boyle - known for his work with Glen Hansard, Patty Griffin, and Okkervil River. This wide-angle collection of songs invites us to reconnect with ourselves and our world through the senses by illuminating our intrinsic connection with the physical world, and the freedom found therein. Echoing the ardor of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, and channeling Talk Talk's Mark Hollis, Lowe asks us each to "feel the wind blow on your face, camerado." At once intimate and epic, opening track "Sorrow" sets a tone of longing and malaise, from which Lowe expands and breaks out of, over the next 8 songs. As the album progresses, he explores myth, desire, love and the mystery of art, concluding with the ethereal, acoustic guitar-driven "Beauty Finds Forever," on which it’s clear he's transformed. He's found the deepest nourishment; an enrichment of the soul found through a saturation of his physical senses, an antidote to our anguished age.
