Read all about rap’s next big thing with details from Witt Lowry’s wiki.
His True Calling
Born on February 28, 1991, as Mark Laurence Richard Jr., Witt Lowry’s age is 27. He was planning a career in graphic designing but decided that a designing career won’t utilize his creative genius to the fullest.
“If I could do music and get by, that was all I wanted to do, so I made that decision,” said Lowry. “I am making much more of an impact on people through music than I am working any kind of desk job. Music is so much more rewarding.”
Lowry decided on his stage name when he stumbled on the word “witty” in the dictionary. He coined “Lowry” from his middle name, Laurence.
Pretty soon, Lowry dropped the “y” in “witty” because it made it harder for people to find him online. And now, he’s promoting a different sound of hip-hop as Witt Lowry.

His Brand of Hip-Hop
The Connecticut-based rapper has over 116k Twitter followers and 128k followers on Instagram. His videos on YouTube get millions of views.
Those who have found Witt Lowry’s music have gone on social media to talk about his addictive lyrics.
The 27-year-old deviates from mainstream rap’s life of excess style of music to rap about his honest feelings. Coupled with some thought-provoking wordplay and bold videos, Lowry became a different attraction in hip-hop.
Lowry’s knack for storytelling began at a young age. In high school, he took every available English class. He also maintained a journal in his teens where he put his thoughts into poetry and expressions.
“Writing is the most important part of music to me,” Lowry said. “My songs are interconnected and story-based. It is a challenge because I want to write a story, but I also want to add musical elements to it.”
Being alone doesn’t make you lonely, there is nothing more lonely than being surrounded by the wrong people.

“Last Letter” is the latest video offering from the album. Since its release in February 2017, Lowry’s fans (#TEAMWITT) are beyond moved by the song’s lyrics.
