From South London to sunny Spain (he escaped prior to lockdown), our guest this week is producer and artist, Lucy Lu, AKA Luke Bower.
With Lucy Lu the ambiguous name of Luke's shape shifting project, Luke effortlessly moves between solo work and collaborative sessions with an 11-strong band.
Alongside this, Luke also works collaboratively with the likes of partner Uma - check out the gorgeous Black Bees - and self-confessed confidante Puma Blue (check out his ep here). Growing up amongst London’s rich ecosystem of diverse music scenes Luke's sound developed - amongst the line up for Lucy's first outing were Ms MAURICE and Richie Seivwright of KOKOROKO, and he has since supported the likes of The Cat Empire and Loyle Carner.
Weaving a jazz-flecked melodies with a mix of sounds, instruments and production 'trickery'. Luke has found the time to build up a reputation for Lucy Lu as one of the most exciting live acts in London, alongside touring as the bassist of On Repeat fave, Nilüfer Yanya.
In this episode we get honest about collaboration, the difference in his approach towards his own songs and other, the influence of musicals (again?!), and *that* Colours show.
