Lukas Setto has proven himself to be a musician of extraordinary talent, the days and nights
devoted to trawling through his father's extensive DJ collection of the Motown, soul and
jazz greats is a testament to the dedication he has to his music and his devoted fanbase.
If the influences of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson collide with a new modern
soul sound like The Weekend and Bruno Mars Lukas has positioned himself at the forefront
of that musical explosion.
Lukas’ influences are his base, but his craft of composition and writing began at College
where his exploration of vocal melody and song writing began to be noticed to a wider
audience.
At college, Lukas was the recipient of The Urban Music Award for best Unsigned Artist, an
accolade that was cemented by his breath-taking performance of the self -penned track
"You Know Me".
The journey of any talented artist can have many difficult paths to navigate, Lukas is no
different, those paths have led to him finding his voice and now that voice has to be heard.
His talents in the studio remixing the likes of Taio Cruz amongst many others has developed
Lukas' studio and production vision (sometimes under his pseudonym Tru Menace).
His proven ability, determination and vision have been noticed and sought after by the likes
of Mark Ronson, Omar, Jordan Sparks and Daniel Merriweather.
Live performances at the Jazz café, Shepherds Bush Empire and Festival headline slots have
cemented Lukas as a sensational live act, his time on stage with Omar, Ne-yo and Timbaland
have widened his audience even further.
The writing talents and collaborations with other artists such as Bradley Johnson, Kitty
Brucknell and Shanell (Young Money), alongside soul hits 'Looking For Love' by Michelle
Lawson and 'Plus One' by Shaila Prospere (#1 UK Soul Chart), have seen Lukas become a
songwriter in high demand, a prolific artist.
Lukas' charisma, finesse and ever evolving style have never been in more demand than now,
those influences from the LP collection are there as a nod to the greats but his ambition and
journey with his fans is for Lukas Setto to be mentioned in the same breath as them one day
very soon.
