Louis Souyave is a multi-award-winning composer and record producer operating from his South London studio. Louis rejects the sterile nature of digital-only production. He ensures every project possesses a tactile, human-centric quality that resonates with audiences globally. Louis has built an elite reputation for delivering high-impact, soulful sound for global luxury brands, major publishers, and critically acclaimed artists.
Artist Production
Louis is a producer known for his deep, organically-driven "alt-pop" aesthetic. He produces for Modern Oli, the breakout project of actor Oli Higginson (Bridgerton) whose debut single independently surpassed 100,000 streams in a month and has been championed on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio London. His solo project, Dirty Mirrors, has likewise achieved critical traction with premiere airplay on BBC Radio 1 Dance and consistent support from Spotify Editorial playlists. Dirty Mirrors latest single, Alone Tonight’, co-written with Salt Ashes, features the powerhouse vocals of PAIJE Richardson (live vocalist for Sigma, Jonas Blue, and Jax Jones) with cinematic strings from Prima Queen’s Kristen McFadden.
His collaborative work is highlighted by his successful partnership with Nana M. Rose, which earned the 2021 Rotterdam Music Award for Best Song for the track "4am." This ability to deliver high-caliber results is a consistent theme throughout his portfolio, including his work producing and mixing Salt Ashes' sophomore album, Killing My Mind (2021), which broke into the Top 10 on the iTunes Pop Album Charts.
He also helmed Maddox Jones' debut album, Believe It (2022), which Atwood Magazine described as an "epic beacon of passion and joy." Across a vast run of singles and EPs for a diverse roster of talent, Souyave consistently delivers polished, radio-ready productions that bridge the gap between indie-spirit and commercial appeal.
