LUKA JAMES

Luka James has just released his highly anticipated new single “Hazy Dreams” which is now available worldwide.

Luka is a singer songwriter who grew up in Greenwich Village, New York. With hypnotic/emotive vocal layers, Luka produces heart filled songs offering cathartic release from complex internal monologues. Inspired by evocative vocalists like James Blake, Steve Windwood, Moses Sumney, Jordan Rakei and Janis Joplin, and Kelsey Lu, Luka’s captivating sounds conjure bliss amongst shared feelings of euphoria, pain and sadness.

A form of cinematic and alternative pop soul, Luka infuses creative vintage piano riffs and electric guitar for a sonic journey. His music holds experience from years of hosting of MusiCollage, a New York-based group singing workshop. Whether singing with or for you, he plants seeds for collective expression.

“Hazy Dreams” – In The Words of Luka James

“Introspective & filled with natural references from two years of writing, this Hazy Dreams is my passionate desire to immortalize a fading romance through an intimate lead vocal, swirling harmonic vocals layers inspired by Bobby Mcferrin’s mentorship and complex arrangement of dream-like electric guitar, Rhodes bass piano, experimental synthesizers and Wurlitzer counter melodies.”
