Live My Life Vol. II

The relationship between sound and style has always been central to LML Clothing by Halfwait. 

With the launch of Live My Life Vol. II, the second major release under LML Records, that connection becomes deeper. The new compilation builds on the energy of the original Live My Life Vol. 1 project while expanding the label’s cultural reach. 

For LML, music remains more than an accessory to fashion, it is the heartbeat that gives the clothes meaning.

Origin and Ethos

When Jonathan Barca first created LML Clothing, it was a natural continuation of his work as the frontman of Halfwait. The music had already captured the spirit of resilience and honesty that the brand would later express through design. The founding idea was simple: to live with purpose, to create without compromise, and to share what feels real. 

That idea became Live My Life, a song, a statement, and eventually a global creative movement. 

The first compilation marked the birth of LML Records in 2025, bringing together twenty artists under one banner of authenticity. 

Volume II continues that legacy while showing how music and fashion can grow together as cultural forces.

Theme Focus

Live My Life Vol. II represents evolution. 

It captures the brand’s progression from its raw beginnings to its current position as a mature cultural platform. 

Each track contributes to the broader identity of LML, blending genres and stories into a cohesive narrative. 

The compilation embodies the same minimalism and emotional clarity found in the clothing collections. 

This synergy allows fans and retailers alike to experience the brand as both sound and texture, a complete expression of lifestyle. 

By releasing music in rhythm with its fashion output, LML maintains a consistent pulse that connects creativity, commerce, and culture.

Value and Cultural Impact

LML Records exists as a bridge between independent musicians and conscious consumers. 

It gives artists a platform rooted in integrity while reinforcing the brand’s larger purpose. 

Every release strengthens LML’s global identity as a cultural storyteller. 

The fashion becomes wearable music, and the music becomes emotional branding. 

Retailers benefit too, as the brand’s soundtracks enhance the in-store experience and create a deeper connection between audience and product. 

This is storytelling as strategy, transforming the traditional idea of brand marketing into something immersive and real.

Founder Voice

“Music has always been the truth behind everything we do,” says founder Jonathan Barca. “

It shapes how we design, how we think, and how we move. 

Live My Life Vol. II is not about chasing charts. 

It’s about creating a space where authenticity still matters. 

The same emotion that goes into every song goes into every hoodie and every tee.”

Community and Engagement

The community around LML continues to grow through shared emotion. 

Fans engage with the brand not just by wearing it, but by listening and participating. 

Each new release becomes an event that blends creative disciplines, fashion drops timed with music releases, behind-the-scenes shoots connecting both worlds, and artist collaborations that translate emotion into design. 

The result is a loyal audience that views LML as more than a label. 

It is a movement grounded in sound, story, and sustainability. 

Live My Life Vol. II extends this connection globally, reaching listeners across more than 150 streaming platforms and transforming that energy into real-world culture.

Closing

With Live My Life Vol. II, LML Clothing by Halfwait reinforces its identity as a creative ecosystem where fashion and music coexist naturally. 

It proves that storytelling can exist across formats and still feel consistent. 

As the brand continues its expansion into global retail spaces, the music remains its emotional anchor. 

Together, they form a cultural blueprint for the next generation, one built on purpose, honesty, and rhythm.
