Luka – Eleven Year Old Creative Canadian Super Star

Luka  

Luka PerformsLUKA is an 11 year old Canadian boy with a powerful voice and magnetic personality who has a genuine passion for music and singing.  However, it’s his creativity, coupled with indisputable heart and soul embedded into his music videos, that continues to attract more and more young fans and equally impress many adults.  In fact some have started calling him a YouTube Sensation and even perhaps the next Justin Bieber. 

Unlike some who have been called YouTube Sensations, Luka has earned that title. Luka has accomplished what many have only dreamed of doing.  In less than two and a half years, he has amazingly accumulated over 2 Million views and boasts over 7 Thousand subscribers on his YouTube Channel.

Part of this success was accomplished simply by Luka just being himself.  While some tubers are trying to impress with special effects or finding scenic locations to shoot their videos, Luka’s early videos were initially made by him, sometimes by only using a laptop or iPad camera and mic.  Due to this, he quickly started gaining attention with his unadulterated talent, a distinguishing voice and by singing songs typically beyond his age.

His fans love him for just being natural, and admire his modesty, sweet personality, colorful voice and irresistible charm.

Through the camp experience Thilo was introduced to the amazing singer, musician, and producer David Ryan Harris who helped Thilo become a creative songwriter and storyteller.  When the camp concluded Thilo traveled to Los Angeles, California to meet with David and work on some original songs.  Thilo is currently working on a number of originals that can be used as demos.  Of course his fans all hope that this compilation of music will soon turn into a CD that Thilo can share with all of us!

While I can’t yet share what I was privileged to privately hear, I can tell you that Thilo ‘s new sound is beyond amazing!  His creativity and distinct musical sound is about to turn the heads of many professionals in the industry.
