Scoobert Doobert is an American Low-Fi artist based out of California. He got started in the music industry by his neighbor winning a guitar and leaving it at Scoobert Doobert’s house which led him to learning how to play which evolved into him writing songs as well as recording them. Recording songs is a very expensive process so Scoobert had to figure out how to sell/promote his new found recording addiction.

Limrise got the name due to the fact he had a crush on a girl and googled that topic. The results came back with Limrinse meaning the desire to be with someone and have them reciprocate feelings for you. Since not too many people knew the term Limrinse decided to make it his artist name. Limrinse gets his inspiration from every song he likes as well as films. He likes to think music should make you imagine things, almost like creating a movie scene in your head. In one of Limrinse most popular songs titled “ Live A Lie” he is singing about trying to fit in with obnoxious and fake people that they can’t stand but do anyway just to feel like they belong, a very deep meaning song that I think everyone can relate to.

One of his top songs on Spotify is “Remedy” which has amassed over 3.3 million plays. I asked Cody Randall how it felt to have a song be played over a million plays and he said “It was definitely a change of pace because it happened so quickly” He was very happy that enjoyed the song that much.
