Some artists rush headlong into the spotlight, while others take time to understand the machinery that powers success. For Skyler Lewis, who performs as Lbe Scar, the journey from Canton, Ohio — to rising artist has been deliberately measured. Born on May 4, 1996, Lewis has built a diverse career as an entertainer, songwriter, entrepreneur, business manager, photographer, and father. Now, with his debut single “Abundance,” he’s made a thoughtful transition from behind-the-scenes architect to center stage performer.
The single, which dropped on March 8, 2025, reflects Lewis’s distinctive take on modern music production and songwriting. Throughout the two-and-a-half-minute track, listeners find a well-produced track where hard-hitting snares blend with aspirational lyrics. The artist builds recurring themes of success with lines like “Bigger and bigger” and “Millions on top of millions,” crafting what feels like an audio manifesto of ambition.
At 28, Lewis brings an unexpectedly varied background to his musical debut. While many artists start by chasing the spotlight, he cut his teeth in the industry’s machinery, serving as promotion manager at Hit Camp Records and steering operations at Loedagang, LLC. Now, as founder of Scar Management, he’s managed to bridge the gap between business acumen and artistic expression.
The path to this debut shows a lifelong connection to music. Lewis began writing poetry and songs before the age of six, performing in numerous school plays and talent shows throughout his youth. However, he didn’t fully commit to a professional music career until 2019, when he became the promotion manager at Hit Camp Records. After recording his first track in 2020, he spent years collaborating with other artists and meticulously crafting his sound. His early focus centered on helping other artists develop their careers, including a stint as manager at Loedagang, LLC – experience that would later prove valuable in his own artistic development.
“Abundance” demonstrates this methodical development. The self-engineered track balances polished production with personal meaning. Lewis’s role as a father grounds his music with purpose, as themes of self-reliance and achievement run throughout the single.
The horizon looks promising for the Canton native, who has already announced plans for his first full-length album later this year. While he’s keeping most details under wraps, his openness to collaboration and diverse musical influences suggests an artist ready to push creative boundaries. The upcoming project is expected to showcase the range of styles he’s developed over years of working behind the scenes.
Fans can find “Abundance” on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. Lewis maintains an active social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, where fans can find updates about new releases and access his merch line. His first full album is scheduled for release later this year, adding anticipation to the momentum generated by “Abundance.”
