London native Luke Sital-Singh has his roots in an eclectic mix of songsmiths both young and old, from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell to Bon Iver, Josh Ritter and Tallest Man On Earth. Sonically Luke and band nod towards the grandeur of other influences like Sigur Ros as Luke's voice soars high above us but only to land with an intimacy so close and raw that breathing seems both inappropriate and unnecessary.
Luke was brought up in the small South West London town of New Malden, birthplace of folk legend John Martyn. The youngest of 3 brothers, Luke’s parents encouraged their sons to pick up musical instruments. Piano, saxophone, guitar and the flute were all part of the Sital-Singh ensemble with Luke taking up the violin at age 11. After picking up his brother's guitar, he has never looked back.
The ever compelling and emotionally captivating young songwriter has his roots in an eclectic mix of songsmiths both young and old, from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell to Damien Rice, Josh Ritter and Tallest Man On Earth. Though a new artist and relatively unexposed, he has already established himself within BBC’s Introducing arena, gaining him a slot at Glastonbury 2010.
Luke is currently working towards his debut album whilst troubadouring around London and the South coast.
