Biography

Born in Cape Town, raised and based in the Netherlands; singer-songwriter Lisa Lukaszczyk forms the creative foundation for her band Luka. With her colorful voice and honest songs, she paints images that seem very familiar, yet intriguing and exciting. Inspired by artists such as Lianne La Havas, Feist, and Bon Iver, Luka exhibits a sound with touches of dreamy electro-pop, folk, and soul. With only two people on stage, Luka’s live shows have proven a ‘not-to-miss’ at European festivals. Together with drummer Joost Wesseling, both playing multiple instruments, Luka puts on a surprisingly dynamic show that varies between ethereal soundscapes and grounded uplifting beats. After the successfully self-released debut EP Welcome, Generation Everything in 2018, and her Sofar Sounds session for single River going viral, they ended up playing over 80 shows throughout Europe that same year. Highlights include Sziget Festival (Hungary), Motel Mozaïque (The Netherlands), and the official aftershow for Elbow in Amsterdam. In 2020 her debut album First Steps of Letting Go came (co-produced by Wannes Salomé (Klangstof) and Sam Jones (a.o. LUWTEN, Kim Janssen) resulting in raving reviews in the press and heavy support from Spotify and radio. Luka performed ESNS ’21 and supported Klangstof’s tour in 2022, as well as MY BABY’s tour the same year. In April 2023, Luka released her EP Director in the Dark. Four songs in which Luka attempts to get a grip on the feeling of groping in the dark.
