Wingtip has built his career on merging pop songwriting with rock textures and electronic production. His new album Luckyman, released on Nettwerk, expands that blend into what he calls “maximalist classic rock,” bringing together guitars, pedal steel, saxophone, and strings with digital tools like Kontakt.
A key piece of that balance came from The Grandeur. The instrument helped Wingtip create surreal piano moments, balance live recordings with digital clarity, and add layers that carried the scale of the record. Built partly in a Malibu Airbnb with collaborators Theo Kandel and Jack Kleinick, Luckyman shows how flexibility between acoustic and digital elements can create records that feel both nostalgic and forward-looking.
