Carson Lueders Washington’s Wonder Boy!

“I hope to be a positive influence and role model to others through my music and my actions.”

Singer, Songwriter, Performer Carson Lueders

Carson Lueders It’s been a big year of growth for Carson Lueders and his music since first appearing here on Rivenmaster’s Place.  Carson’s fan base has exploded and is reaching around the globe. His YouTube channel continues to gain new subscribers daily and his fan base is now made up from faithful Carson Lueders fans from 109 different countries!  (There are 196 total countries so that’s over ½ the world watching Carson’s videos)  It took about 3 years to get his 1st million YouTube views but only 3 months to get his 2nd million!!! Now he has gone over the 3 million mark averaging 10-20K views a day.

Because Carson is so young, having just turned 11, he seems to be standing out and separating himself from the pack of older teen boys that are competing in the saturated music market.  He is constantly being compared to other boys in the industry and often being called the next Justin Bieber, little Cody Simpson, or baby Niall Horan.  But many of his fans assure him he is not the next of anything but the FIRST & ONLY Carson! Everyday fans send him words of encouragement, compliments and even marriage proposals.  Carson appreciates it all, including all the fan videos and picture collages.

Carson has been playing and performing since age five. He has been a guest on local radio since age six, and has been featured on the local news throughout the years. At just the age of nine he also won a national songwriting contest.

Although he started out playing mostly country music, Carson is now leaning more towards pop music. Some have even said that Carson could be a cross over artist like Taylor Swift.

Carson and His Brother Perform Keith Urban Cover

 

His Mother exclaimed;

“It’s been a great honor for many artists to acknowledge and complement Carson on the covers songs he has done.  Some artists including Keith Urban, Aaron Carter and Australian teen Cody Simpson have even helped to promote Carson’s music through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.”

I asked Carson if he would do an exclusive interview for this article and I’m pleased that he took the time to do so.  The following is an excerpt from that interview:

Lyric Dubee Extraordinary Musician, Vocalist and Songwriter

Lyric Dubee

This week’s featured artist is fourteen year old, Canadian born, Lyric Dubee.  Like other young talent that has been introduced here I found Lyric on his YouTube channel and was especially fascinated with his originality and sound.

Immediately I recognized that Lyric was another fine example of the quality of the amazing talent that Canada has been producing through this younger generation of musicians and vocalists.

I asked Lyric to do a special self introduction video for this article which he graciously created. I’m proud and excited to finally be able to embed it below for your enjoyment.

Lyric Dubee Up Close and Personal Introduction!

Lyric Dubee began his life as a reflection of a love for music, in the fact that his parents named him Lyric because they loved music.  I’m told; that a wide variety of music was always playing in the house and car from the moment Lyric was born, and before he could walk or talk he was humming recognizable songs.  (Mary Had a Little Lamb for example.)

Lyric at the LakeOn his 3rd birthday Lyric got dressed up like Woody, (he always loved acting) he grabbed a badminton racket and pretended play the guitar to entertain the guests at the party.  Still, his parents had no clue he would eventually want to play music.

When Lyric’s dad was a teenager he was in a garage band and kept the guitar which sat in the basement collecting dust.  At age 9 Lyric asked to see it and asked if he could have it.  His dad said “if you learn to play it, you can have it”.  The lessons began and that was the start of a new obsession.

Within a few months he had landed a spot in the school talent show where he was seen and asked to play at the Barrie New Music Festival.  He has performed in the festival every year since.  In 2010 he was nominated for best song writer and again in 2011 when he won the award with his original song “Hello Beautiful”.
