Introducing Lette Weaver & Storm Carter, Indie Spotlight artists

For years HipHopSince1987 and TampaMystic have been on the forefront of supporting independent artists and providing a media platform. They have officially teamed up to bring you The Artist Spotlight which puts shine on some of the hardest working artists on the rise. As the underdogs in the industry, up and coming artists have to work extra hard to build a fan base and have their supporters tune in. We want to help them to that next level and encourage you to check out this week’s artists in our spotlight!

Houston-based rapper, hip hop artist, and vocalist Lette Weaver brings her tight lyrical flow, organic beats, and addictive melodies into the world of contemporary hip hop. Unbound by stereotypical genre conventions, Lette is a multidimensional musician fascinated by the interplay between rhyme and song. Her tracks are characterized by her one-of-a-kind voice and honest storytelling, leaving listeners with something unparalleled by anything that came before it. To date, Lette has released seven singles, including her latest track, “Patio.” In 2023, Lette plans to release her debut EP Hi, Nice To Meet You on all major streaming platforms.

Lette gathers inspiration from a wide range of sources—family, friends, and some of the musical greats. Lauryn Hill is among the artists Lette admires most, along with Kevin Gates, MO3, Erykah Badu, and Outkast. It’s clear from listening to Lette’s tracks that she has woven her style from a love not only of rap and hip hop, but also of soul, R&B, and the genuine well of her own creativity. Writing rhymes about her first-hand experiences and coming up with melodies that capture potent feelings are the core elements of Lette’s musical process. She ultimately wants her fans to not only hear her music, but to feel it as well.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Lette Weaver has been rapping and writing songs since she was in elementary school. As she got older, she developed a keen interest in computers and eventually taught herself how to use some early digital recording software. From there, she started recording and mixing her own vocals at home using a pair of Logitech speakers and a mic from Walmart. Once Lette got to high school, her focus on music took a backseat as her prospects shifted toward college and a career in tech. After seeing some of her peers find opportunities in music that didn’t seem to be coming as easily to her, Lette started to believe she wasn’t destined for a life in the entertainment industry. Still, she joined the Multimedia Arts Club at her high school where she learned the ins and outs of Mac-based photography, videography, and music hardware and software. Ultimately, this experience further solidified Lette’s motivation to pursue the study of information technology. But after getting to college, plans shifted yet again, and Lette soon decided to enlist in the Army.

​From 2012 to 2017, Lette served in the U.S. Army as an Information Technology Specialist in Fort Hood, Texas. After completing her service early due to some medical limitations, Lette found herself in a difficult spot as she had assumed her military career would last much longer than it did. Caught in a cycle of depression and confusion, Lette eventually found her way back to writing. Through the process of pouring her feelings onto paper once again, Lette was struck by the immense realization of how deeply therapeutic writing truly is and found herself questioning why she had ever stopped in the first place. From there, Lette’s writing practice deepened personally and spiritually. As she grew as a person and artist, Lette felt hungry for a community to share her experiences with. She turned to social media, particularly TikTok, knowing she needed to find a way to get her music into the world.

Outside of her life as a musician, Lette Weaver is also a podcaster, author, influencer, content creator, mental health advocate, and spiritual life coach with over 40k followers on Instagram. Fans can find Lette’s music streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and YouTube. You can also follow Lette Weaver on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @lettemebang.
