Luke’s passion for music began at an early age. He joined his first band at 17 and went on to play keyboard, sing, and song-write in various local bands over the coming years. Early exploits involved working with Bruce Foxton from The Jam who produced three songs for the unsigned band NeverB4.
Luke had some success in the early 1990s when he teamed up with singer/guitarist Du Kane to create a one-off Hendrix sampled house track which was eventually passed to Alan Douglas by Eric Clapton. The Beautiful People album was released in Europe in 1993 on the Castle Communications Essential label with live drums recorded by Robin Goodridge (later of Bush fame), and remixes by both Killing Joke bassist and producer Youth (Pink Floyd, Verve, U2) and ‘80s hitmakers, PM Dawn. After securing an American deal with Continuum records, Beautiful People made number #1 and number #3 in the US dance chart with “If 60’s Was 90’s,” and “Rilly Groovy” (the former with accompanied video featuring Jimi’s son James Sunquist, aka Jimi Hendrix Jnr.).
Luke has enjoyed a long-term friendship with David Goodes, collaborating on a number of musical projects over the years. David is an experienced musician and producer, and plays guitar in the band Alphaville. David and Luke first met at school and played together in the band NeverB4. David worked as a producer, programmer and guitarist on Luke’s album, Moment of Clarity.
Luke's debut album, Moment of Clarity, will be released September 2021
