A trumpeter, singer, producer, and dancer who rocks alligator shoes with smoking style and panache, Spencer Ludwig brings any party to life. Chances are, you’ve heard his lyrical lead trumpet soaring through the music of multiplatinum-selling indie pop act Capital Cities. Not only did the Los Angeles-born vocalist-instrumentalist perform on their full-length debut In a Tidal Wave of Mystery, which included the chart-busting double-platinum single “Safe and Sound,” but he also crisscrossed the globe with the band, opening for Katy Perry’s Prismatic World Tour and tearing up the stage at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and more. Following a whirlwind two years in the group, he returned to Los Angeles in December 2014 and commenced writing solo material that showcased both his trumpet talents and dynamic, diverse vocals.
In January 2015, Robert introduced Spencer to Dan McCarroll, then-President of Warner Bros. Records. Spencer inked a record deal as a solo artist with the label weeks later, and Robert took Spencer on as Kraftbox’s first management client. Spencer launched his solo career with the infectious hit “Diggy,” which soundtracked Target’s 2016 Fall Style campaign. Since then, Spencer has released series of singles, many of which have been featured in film, TV and commercials across the globe. His most recent release, “Got Me Like”, is featured on Madden 18 alongside Kendrick Lamar, Calvin Harris and Migos, as well as in a global Herbal Essences commercial. As the true performer he is, Spencer spent most of 2017 on the road, opening for Bebe Rexha on her North American and European tours, and wowed audiences at a string of festivals, including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Corona Capital in Mexico City. Spencer’s music merges jazz virtuosity and pop style for a sound that simmers with soul. Stay tuned for new music in 2018!
