With love, from Mexico

Model Rowan Summers is challenging his creativity by tapping into music.

Mexico-based Namibian heartthrob Rowan Summers recently dropped two singles as part of a collaboration with Argentinian musician Manu Pereyra.

The two have come together to form a band called Love, producing two singles that precede an album, scheduled for release soon.

After making a name for himself in the fashion industry by working with some of the biggest names in South America, Summers has decided to follow his heart. “Music has always been my passion ever since I was a kid. Not a day goes by without me listening to music, writing music or singing it. To be honest, I would say that music is my life,” he said.

While he has been making a living as a model and an actor based in Mexico, Summers finally took the plunge to book a studio session to record a song, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Tu Amante dropped on 20 December, while What Love dropped earlier this month. Both singles were produced and written by Summers and Pereyra, while Pereyra was behind most of the technical parts of the production as he is also a composer.

Their third single Acátumamá will be ready in time for Valentine's Day, dropping on 14 February on both Spotify and YouTube. “Fans can definitely expect an album in the near future but right now we are taking a different approach as guided by Spotify and Artists Without a Label (Awal), where we are going to release one or two singles per month of different genres to see exactly what our sound is. Once we have a clear idea of that, we will then put our focus on producing an album we both like and that will connect with our fans,” said Summers.

Awal is a London-based distribution company and record label.

“I'm devoting more of my time to music as I am very new to the industry and still have so much to learn,” Summers added.
