Luke James

Long awaited 2014 debu album from the R&B sensation. New Orleans-born songwriter and vocalist extraordinaire Luke James, recipient of the 2013 Soul Train Centric Award grabbed the brass ring in 2012, when his debut single as a solo artist, 'I Want You' received a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Performance. 'I Want You,' written by Luke, marked his first release on the NARS (New Age Rock Star Records) label. NARS is helmed by award-winning producer Danja (Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, Keri Hilson) and long-time collaborator/mixing engineer Marcella 'Ms. Lago' Araica. Called by Billboard as a star who doesn't 'fit in your typical R&B box,' Luke James was born and raised in New Orleans, where his breakthrough came after high school. When Luke moved to Los Angeles and began singing background for R&B star Tyrese, it was apparent there was no holding this talent back from a pending, successful, solo career.
