Cruz suggested that him and Williams get into the studio by themselves (as opposed to the common industry practice of renting a studio for a week and having multiple writers write multiple songs) and start from scratch. These sessions were where R.LUM.R's first singles, "Show Me," "Be Honest," and "Nothing New" would be written and produced. Atlantic Records was receptive and persuaded Williams to adopt the project full-time. Suddenly, Williams had a producer that he was working with, a manager on board, and industry professionals that were interested in his new project. "Show Me" was later released to SoundCloud and Tunecore, and Spotify picked it up on their New Music Tuesday playlist. Due to the success of his first single, Williams decided to continue with R.LUM.R. Relocation to Nashville and Frustrated
With his decision to be R.LUM.R full-time, Williams was living in Orlando and facing the upcoming ending of his lease. William's noticed that many of his professional and creative collaborators were moving to Nashville, TN and began to contemplate a relocation. Although making ends meet by playing cover shows for $150 a night in Orlando, William's decided that it was best to take a chance on his newly conceived project and make the move to a city with a larger industry presence and music scene. In December 2015, Williams moved to Nashville permanently.
