Luke trained at East 15 Acting School and Drama Studio London (graduated 2019) where he also discovered his love for Sound Design and Musical Direction.

Whilst in Sixth form at the London Oratory school, Luke was classically trained as a chorister where he completed his exams with ABRSM and sung in esteemed venues such as St John Square.

Luke is a multi-instrumentalist, starting out in sessions and rock bands as a child, he has grown to be an accomplished electric guitarist, drummer and produces his own music. When playing folk music, Luke switches between banjo and mandolin with heavy drive coming from his acoustic guitar playing. Luke runs workshops and teaches young teenagers how to beat-box as part of their hip-hop modules, this is a way to make music more accessible to children who wouldn't initially be interested with the curriculum or standardised instruments.
