SPOTLIGHT: Singer-Songwriter Graham Lake On His Debut Single “Focus”

This newcomer deserves to top the charts!

Swedish singer-songwriter Graham Lake is quickly taking over our favorite playlists. With a Grammy-nominated artist as his mentor and a rising following, he is here with his debut single ‘Focus’.

We had the absolute honor of talking with Graham on his love of music, his new single, and his biggest music inspirations.

Q: What is your favorite aspect of music?

Graham: “The fact that so specific memories, emotions, and even states of mind can be connected to just a couple of notes being played in a certain order.”

Q: Tell us about your brand new single “Focus”.

Graham: “Focus” (to me) is a song about cutting off expectations on others and focusing on yourself. It really has made an impact on my life and I hope it can encourage more people to do the same.”

Q: What has been your reaction to already receiving thousands of streams on your music?

Graham: “It still feels unreal. Music has been a part of my day-to-day life since I was a kid and to finally share a fraction of that with people feels amazing. This is just the beginning…”

Q: Who are your biggest music inspirations and why?

Graham: “I don’t really know if I have specific people or artists at the moment that I get inspiration from, there’s a bunch of good musicians out there. But right now I’m really into “older” stuff, I guess the “Guardians of the Galaxy” soundtrack would sum it up well. One modern artist I really look up to tho is Post Malone, He has made me feel many emotions that I’ve missed in today’s music.”

Q: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten?

Graham: “Don’t take anything personally”. People behave and act in ways that are connected to their history (both good and bad). Even tho something might be aimed at you it has nothing to do with you. That felt important for me to know especially in the type of industry I “work”  in.”

Q: Can we expect more music from you next year?

Graham: “If there is something you can expect it’s music for sure. I got so much exciting stuff for next year that I can’t wait to share.”

Q: What are your biggest goals for your career? Maybe a future tour?

Graham: “One of my biggest goals is the freedom of getting to travel around the world and share music, memories and emotions with as many lovely people as possible. A tour would definitely be an option to be able to do that.”

Q: Where can we follow your amazing journey?

Graham: “You can keep an eye on me on Instagram (@grahamlakeofficial), TikTok (@GrahamLake)”
