“Good music”, says Luke Sital-Singh, “should lock your feet and jaw to the floor”. On the
evidence of the four beautifully crafted tracks that have emerged so far, such a feat
should not be a problem for the hotly-tipped London troubadour.
24-year-old Luke was born in the South West London town of New Malden, home place
of folk legend John Martyn. The youngest of 3 brothers, Luke’s parents encouraged their
sons to pick up musical instruments from an early age. Luke started on the violin aged
11 but soon picked up his brother’s guitar and has never looked back.
Luke’s first collection of songs opens with the heart wrenching ‘Fail For You’ – a track
comprising of beautifully layered vocal harmonies, all provided by Luke himself and
showcases his love and complete understanding of the understated complexity of acts
like Sigur Ros and Bon Iver.
Citing Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Josh Ritter and Damien Rice as his other major
influences, Luke’s sound is warm, immersive and crafted in such a way which suggests
an innate ability to transcend his idols and, in the vain of all great singer songwriters,
create something completely unique and compelling within the genre.
