Luke K.

From the young age of 14 I embarked on my song writing journey by creating poetry as a form of creative self expression, and despite initially planning on never publicly releasing any of my poems, I continued to work on my craft in an effort to learn and grow as a writer. Writing from my personal experience, using my words as a medium to tell my story and describe the emotions I’ve felt on my journey, my poems eventually began to evolve in to song lyrics, and after years of keeping my writings in a notes folder on my phone I decided that it was time to start sharing them with the world. My first time in a recording studio was in November of 2022 and since then I have been working diligently, writing and recording full original songs. Growing up I was heavily influenced by some of the old school music my parents would listen to, like The Beach Boys, Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons, Elton John, and Queen, as well as some of the more modern music I would hear at parties and on the radio such as Lil Wayne, Drake, all American rejects, and Amy Winehouse. I have used the influences to create my own sound, which has been a blend of rap, pop, rock, and jazz. During tumultuous periods of my adolescent years, I would turn to music as a form of therapy and catharsis because listening to my favorite artists express their emotions allowed me to understand my own better. My goal in my writing is to create music that listeners can identify with, allowing them to use my personal story as a form of therapy, just like I did with the artists I listened to. In all of my recordings and live performances I am looking to create a connection with the listener, allowing them to have an inside view of my own personal experience and relate through theirs. Through my struggles I have come to find that the ultimate reward comes from using what you’ve learned during your hardest times and sharing those lessons with others so that they may understand the emotions, feel less alone, and begin to heal and grow.
