Lukes first EP "Volume One” in a partnership with DC’s House Studios. It reached number 7 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. His song “Siren” received runner-up in the AAA/Alternative in the International Acoustic Music Awards in 2019.
"Luke.... is someone whose talent shines all on it's own. As a solo singer and guitar player he is incredibly skillful and engaging with his audience. When playing for a mixed-age event for us, he wowed the younger older guests alike. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
