Michael Lowman's career began at the age of 17 when he learned to play the guitar and began writing songs. A few years later, he started posting videos of himself performing his own songs on YouTube. In an inspiring twist of fate, these soon caught the eye of Los Angeles record exec Scott Austin. As the head of independent label, Authentik Artists, Austin focused on recording emerging artists and securing film and TV placements for their songs and was immediately captivated by Lowman's sound. By his own steam, the young singer-songwriter made his way over to the States and set about recording his first EP, produced by Mark Needham. The EP earned Lowman a slew of high-profile TV placements, including spots on the Kardashians' show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, but a visa complication resulted in Lowman returning home to South Africa and, ultimately, signing with Universal SA and the recording of his debut album, "Crayon Boxes", released in September last year.
The title track, Crayon Boxes, was used for an advert for Property 24. The first single: Your Lovin' Ain't Right, hit the top-three position on 5FM, Jacaranda FM and OFM while the second single: Girl Saves Boy, gave Lowman his first number one hit, when the song topped the Jacaranda FM Top 20. With chart-topping success so early in his career and a nomination in the Best Newcomber category at the 2014 MK Awards as well as South African Music Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album for his debut release "Crayon Boxes", South Africa is getting to know Michael Lowman.
