The Arctic

Always on the hunt for the next creative project, Luke Vandevert, known as The Arctic, aims to create music and films that make others feel alive. Born in Ketchikan, Alaska and raised along the coast of British Columbia, he has devoted his life to his music and has evolved into a multi-disciplinary creator with a distinctive brand of alternative music. Since the release of his 2017 breakthrough EP ‘<a href="spotify:album:6euCCEc6vRclSs4KTwH8rn" data-name="Reverberate">Reverberate</a>,’ he has been quietly building his discography and amassing a devoted fanbase. Now, after honing his craft for years, he is creating some of the most impassioned work of his career.

By infusing faith with his unique signature style of music, the award-winning Canadian/American songwriter, producer, and filmmaker seamlessly flows from nostalgic pop covers to ambitiously soulful original songs. Although he has been described as a “worship artist,” he has grown into a multi-faceted storyteller, creating intimate portraits of life, loss, and love. While his songs are often inspired by his own life, he aims to transform his deeply personal experiences into universal messages.

The Arctic has been acclaimed and appreciated by fans and critics alike. He won a 2021 Leo Award and earned several GMA Award nominations. He has both shared the stage and collaborated with artists including <a href="spotify:artist:0pWpQhmg5KRsyo2Y6QRtc7" data-name="Brian Doerksen">Brian Doerksen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4NLUyDLjEMNQGwrLRIlLYS" data-name="Carolyn Arends">Carolyn Arends</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2T96koWC1Uz8yss535oNHX" data-name="Ryan McAllister">Ryan McAllister</a>, and many others.
