In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we sit down with modern soul visionary Anthony Llewellyn. Operating under his defining tagline, “Timeless Soul. Global Sound,” Anthony is redefining R&B by stepping away from short-lived trends to craft expansive, concept-driven music chapters.
We dive deep into the architecture of his catalogue—tracing his journey from the raw vocal focus of Just a Man on the Mic to the rich arrangements of his album The Balladeer. Anthony breaks down his creative process, balancing his gospel roots with operatic scale and big-band influences, and shares what it takes to design live experiences tailored for intimate, high-end spaces like his 7 Flights 100 Nights tour. Plus, we talk about his upcoming high-profile collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, and Kanye West.

High-Powered Alignments: Integrating distinct producer styles without losing his signature baritone identity.
