“For heights and depths no words can reach, music is the soul’s own speech.”  That’s the simple, yet foreshadowing quote that hung on the wall of the Midwestern farm house of my piano teacher when I was seven years old.

Throughout my life, music has been able to speak when words have failed.  I continued to study piano and voice and began composing when I was nine years old.  Rooted in my faith, I continued to push forward my ability and further develop my songwriting. At age seventeen, I released my first album of all original compositions. Through playing with various bands, recording numerous albums, and touring the nation, I’ve had the privilege of sharing the stage with such acts as:  Mercy Me, Remedy Drive, Disciple,Thousand Foot Krutch, Manic Drive, Ashes Remain, Seabird, Carrollton, Kari Jobe and countless others.

For the last five years I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be a member of multi-platinum selling band and Sony/Provident group ‘Blessid Union of Souls.’  Through extensive touring I’ve been able to play music on every inhabitable continent, except Australia.  I’m amazed at the lasting relationships and bonds that music has created, all across our world.  I’m touched to know that even in places where a language barrier exists, that songs with a message of love endure and reach far beyond what we could imagine.

My instrumental and/or vocal abilities have now been featured on over forty different recording projects, ranging many different styles and genres. My latest project ‘The Restoration Project I’ was released in January of 2015 with ‘Love Is Here’ being co-produced by platinum artist Eliot Sloan.  My hope is that through my own personal experiences, trials and triumphs, that a feeling of love and hope can always be felt… that the songs of my heart can reach the heights and depths of yours.

“I like to tell a story that sends a message…. often this is about being the person you want to be. I hope people will listen to my songs and be able to relate to them.”

'Terrified' is the new song from Luke Potter. Composed by Luke and his producer, Bleu, the song was recorded in LA in late 2013.

Luke is a young artist / songwriter from the UK.  His songs are written from the heart and delivered in a style that make them both ear catching and easy to relate too. Play them once and you'll want to hear them again and again.

In the past year Luke has signed a deal with top US managerment WEG (Justin Timberlake, Akon...) and Orrigami (David Archuletta, Crystal Bowersox).  

Now Hard Rock are showing their support and belief by offering Luke to tour their venues promoting his soon to be released album. Dates to be announced shortly.

“I like to tell a story that sends a message…. often this is about being the person you want to be. I hope people will listen to my songs and be able to relate to them.”

Luke is a young artist / songwriter from the UK who’s starting to make a buzz with his songs.
He cites “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls as the song that, the moment he heard it playing, made him realize he wanted to be a songwriter.

Shortly after, at the age of 17, Luke picked up an acoustic guitar for the first time and started writing songs not only about love but also about growing up…

Other artists that have influenced Luke include the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Jason Mraz, Fountains of Wayne, Goo Goo Dolls and the music of his father who played in bands way back when…!

In a short time he’s become a natural songwriter and emerging artist in the making. Music Week selected Luke as one of their ten ‘favorite’ new talents and commented saying “Luke’s songs are beautiful.” Promo Only agrees saying it’s “exciting hearing such a fresh new and exciting talent like Luke… it’s perfect for US radio”.

Luke’s debut radio single, “We’re Alive” impacted several stations on the East Coast in the summer of 2012, having top 30 airplay in Boston and San Francisco with video rotation at Hard Rock Cafes (“Great video”) around the world.

In his relatively short career Luke has got to work with some of the finest producers in the industry including Steve Power (Robbie Williams, McFly, Andrea Bocelli…), Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos…), Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac, Colbie Caillat) who commented “Luke Potter is a great singer-songwriter” and Bleu who writes “Luke Potter writes ear-sticking songs that just won’t leave your brain!”

January 2013 saw the release of Luke’s EP, ‘One Day’ which met with a great critical reaction.
Ken Morton of LA based ‘Highwire Daze’ wrote, “The combination of Potter and Bleu has presented a stunning work of pure pop perfection that is not to be missed. Judging by the three wondrous tracks heard on the One Day EP, expect the future to be very bright for this massively talented singer / songwriter. It will be exciting to hear what exquisite tunes Luke Potter has in store for the world at large in the months ahead.”
Luke has recorded an album of his songs with Bleu (Demi Lovato, Adam Lambert, Jonas Brothers…) and is just waiting patiently for the right time to release them to everyone.

In September 2013 he signed a management contract with WEG (Wright Entertainment Group) and Orrigami who look after Justin Timberlake, Akon, NSYNC, David Archuleta and a host of other great artists.
Since then he’s been even busier with writing trips to Sweden, Canada and USA during 2014 where he’s worked with some amazing collaborators.

He also did a short UK school tour and a small tour (10 shows) in the USA in July / August 2014 to a great reaction.

With a great catalogue of songs ready to go Luke will be putting out new music and videos soon!
